New to this site. Looks great.

Here's my GT. He's 10-11 inches TL. He's in a 150 with a Lyonsi, Breidohri and a Bleekeri.

Welcome aboard Jeffrey P. Nice GT! Any profile pics? Would be nice to get a better look. :drool:
 
Thanks guys. I have had him for about 2 years now. He was around 3" when I got him.

balton777 - He's a solid 10" +. His tail is fine it's just the picture.

I'll try to get some side shots of him but that is hard to do. Whenever I get near the tank he starts flaring and banging the glass, always facing me. He's all show though. He chases his tankmates around but no damage done.
 
I don't know about you guys but its hard taking good pictures with my camera. And I can NEVER get a good shot of "still flared fins" with him. I can't express how cool the colors are in his fins...But I'm sure other GT owners can relate.

Look for a tripod at a garage sale. Got mine last summer for $3. Works awesome. I'm not real good at the photography thing either but I found if you angle the camera to the tank it eliminates the flash/glare in the pic. Just don't take the photo straight on with the glass. Give it a shot

That's cool man...sorry, I thought it might be the angle. He's really thick and just an all around badass fish! Welcome to MFK btw. Got any other monster fish???
 
It's all good.

I've got a Lyonsi that's about 9" long TL. Very active fish that eats like a pig.

I have an older pic of the GT from the side. Here it is along with a couple pics of the Lyonsi.

This is my male, he is around 8" and is a grumpy prick if I don't feed him and starts attacking my Oscars but deep down he is a big softy. I am currently trying to grow a female for him which is currently 3" but it may be male as I just saw chase off my male and seems to be developing a longer more pointed fin. But on the other hand she (hopefully) seems to be digging a nest with the male ?:WTF:.
