Got him at .75" and now he is 3.5"

Not alot of freckles yet, but those there are seem to be of a nice big size. This guy is a real treat to follow growing up.

Thanks both of you.

Well, i don't really believe in "required tank sizes" per say. In my opinion, a tank where i can keep nitrates at 0-5, and the fish can move comfortably around, is a big enough tank.
Other people will have different opinions and stick to a wikipedia type recommendation.
But they can get 20"+, and can be real killers. So you will need a bigger tank for one than your standard firemouthe's tanks.

Don't think i helped much, but it's the best i can do for an answer.
 
Great looking little umbee bud:) he's only gonna get better;) what kind of camera are you using? Nice detail in your pics too.
