Is there any Champs out there!!

not long at all and i believe they are about 6 to 7 inches now pretty small for a monster in the making..

I've had mine since they were about 1 1/2 to 2". FUnny thing is I didnt know I was getting myself into. I bought them because I wanted to have some fish mates with my turtles in my 40g tank. I have since got rid of the turtles and upgraded to a 180g and hoping sometime in the yr or so move up to at least a 220g.

220 gal is not enough for those guys. I have a pair (20"ish) in an 8' 400gal tank. They will outgrow my tank in a couple years.

here's more pics of my male.

Can you take some pictures of the female?!? I am not convinced it's a she.

He is just stunning! I envy you, I've always wanted a huge champ. Do you see any spawnings going on?
