Jack Dempsey - Visual Growth Rate

[TrikkyMakk]

Time for another update...

The gallery is still down, so I will have to attach these rather than imbed.

The fish is doing great, He is eating Hikari Gold still, as well as earthworms, bait shrimp (thanks skerzfan), and whatever I catch live to feed him (horseflys, grasshoppers, june-bugs).

He is at least 6 inches long, and has started to put on some bulk. He is a voracious eater, and will literally come up and out of the water to take earthworm and shrimp pieces out of my hand, I will try to get a video of it, its pretty cool.

His colors are starting to get more intense, not to shabby for a $2.49 fish from PetCo.

Still doing 25% Weekly WCs.

Enjoy!
