Lol yeah. I’ll have to net his guy out one more time when he goes into a bigger tank. He’s been in a 135 gallon since I got him.
Good luck with the transfer, what are you thinking of putting him in?
I’m still debating whether to move him into a 180 and then to a 900 or move him to a 900 directly. I don’t want this guy darting around in a 900, building up momentum and banging into the glass.
I don’t have the 900 yet lol. I’ll be getting it soon. And the idea is to have the Goliath, 3 julliens carps and maybe something else in there.
So say from 5" to 12" (to the base fork, as the total length is properly measured and reported), that's 7" in what time? Sorry, I forgot when you got it.
If you take the base of the fork then I’d say this guy was close to 4” when I got him. And I got him on January 30th 2016. Definitely a slow grower.
I don’t know, don’t want to risk it. But I still have a few months to figure it out.
