Are you sure that's the same fish?!?! He got really big!
 
Howdy,

Thanks a lot for the nice comments. And drifter even dug up the videos :redface:

To address some of your questions/comments:
  • grew from 6 to 12 inches in the first year, now 13 inches
  • lives in a 75 gal tank, alone ...
  • yes, davo, this is the one who loves to TRAVEL :D
  • His colors seem to have faded, but he turns real dark when he's hungry. Very interesting color change, actually.
  • The dark mark on his head is still there, but less obvious and less defined. Whatever it is, doesn't seem to bother him.

Here's the guy when I got him

Thanks again all,
HarleyK
