Hes around 8". I feed all the normal stuff, Prima, Doramin, Cichlidgold, earthworm, bloodworm, krill, cucumber, wax worms.

Hes in with a FH, a couple of BP's, a sev, argentea and a pile of corys. I used to have another chocolate, which was a nicer looking one, but I never got round to handing this one in and I came back one weekend to find it with a chunk out of its lip. I tried to save it but it never made it. I knew you shouldnt keep them together with their own species but i was just trying to grow out the best one, its a shame I never handed this one in earlier

Let's see some of your tank shots, you've got a nice mix..What size tank are they in...?

 

[DasArab]

Its a Juwel 450 Vision tank. Basically a 5x2x2 tank except its bow fronted.
