Hello all. Figured I'd get a quick update of my juruense. Pretty proud of this guy, my favorite fish. Nearing 12" now, probably 20" counting his streamers.

Thanks. Overall, its been a fun fish to keep. Only downside is that it can be a little aggressive at times. Excited to watch it grow and develop.The Juruense looks fantastic. Great job raising it.
Are you saying that the pattern is or may be a function of skin abrasions? Just wondering and looking to learn. I've never heard this.Very nice update! Now I can see how juvenile pattern will developed in adulthood. Not much changes but if a specimen ever got scratch or abrasion on the skin, pattern definitely will change like broken lines in panaques.
Pattern will somewhat distorted from its original state at the area where the abrasion or wounds occured. This happens on my piraiba, abrasion on one of his large spot after it healed, the pattern distort & later become several small spots. I don't keep track of it as it is a common thing in fish, I assumedAre you saying that the pattern is or may be a function of skin abrasions? Just wondering and looking to learn.

Yeah that was my main worry just the stress leading to a disease. Fortunately all seems good now. He is eating and parameters are spot on.IDK. It's just stressful on the fish. Stress is the prerequisite of illness. I'd just double my vigilance.
