He looks better each week….

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I have had this male since 12/30/21 when I got him at 2.0-2.5 inches. He’s now (1/15/23) between 7.0-8.0 inches. His pearls are continuing to develop and spread across his face and lips. This Carpintis has such intense blue coloration. I have kept Carpintis on and off for the last 15 or so years and this guy is one of the best looking males I have ever had. I hope this male still has some growing to do and gets to 10+ inches.
 
7EE6500F-6133-45AE-BEDF-364BE5BE0423.jpegI’m loving how his pearls have started to fill in across his face. I got him as a 1.5-2.0 inch fish on 12/31/21. My best calculation has him at roughly 20 months old right now and 6.5-7.0 inches long and 4.25-4.75 inches tall using a ruler on the outside of the tank when he swims against the glass. I’m hoping he still grows more. Anyone else in MFK have a big 8.0-10.0 inch carpintis? I know Black Tuna Black Tuna has two males that are at or over that size.
 
Gorgeous :)
 
Crabbing season just started this past week so now he’s eating cooked crab again. Hoping he keeps growing and doesn’t grow too wide….aka obese …lol. He’s such an aggressive eater and attacks any food that enters the water. Does he like to share? NOPE.

Beautiful beast!
He’s definitely thick. The obese thing is up to you.

Lol…..I’m not trying to make him obese. I try to feed the other juvenile Carpintis he’s with. He just gets too much of the groups portion. But thank you for the compliment. He is a big boy.
