We'll update time, he is doing great. Slowly getting his juvie colour stage at 8+" now. Definitely much slower to grow than any micro I've kept.
Only eats silverside as hard as I've tried to get him on something less messy.

No worries, I've not been on here much lately tbf.
I've had many redline, they just get monstrous so quickly.
This is the best option for home aquaria if you love reds.
I'm just closing down my 90g so moved my Midas in, with a blood parrot rescue and two giraffe cats.
Sold the rtgg to a good home last week.
Total stock in the 300g is;
Rufus my 12" barred Midas (favourite fish in a long time)
Dumplin the Blood parrot
Two 5-6" dwarf giraffe cats
8" bufonis BB cat
10" wyckii catfish for sale (plans change)
11" wolf fish for sale.
7× 4-7" spanner barbs (legendary fish although bland such characters, like giant tiger barbs)
14" sailfin plec not grown in 5 years maybe sub species?
12" l100 plec.
And obv the future centre piece the Diplo, I honestly don't expect him to pass 18" at this rate. He is very mellow ATM, have a divider at the ready... I'm sure a spanner barb or dwarf giraffe would be the first victim if he does turn but ime with redline I've had them happily cohab with fish over 5" at 16-17".

Yeah there's talks of banning em here in the UK too. Already banned all gars except Cuban and florida.
Figured it's best to bite the bullet now if I want one. They are endangered too so export is likely gonna stop soon.
