I just thought I would give you guys an update on my L. longibarbis. I've had this guy for about 8 months now, and WOW, what a growth rate on this guy. He seems to be slowing down now that he's getting close to the 15" mark.

He's been on a varied diet of market shrimp, Hikari pellets, haddock/pollock fillet, clams, shiners (limited), and the occasional small child. :D

The first pic is a few days after I bought him...the next pics are from last weekend. I also got the shots when he was near the same rock that is in the first pic just to show how big he got.

very nice! i have one waiting for me at my lfs but it had a slight case of ich so im gonna wait till thats all cured up before i take him home and let him play with my juruense cat
 
Thanks for all of the kind words.

Rally, I'll definitely keep an eye on the growth rate to 18". I would love it if he bulks up to 18 quick...then I would have an excuse to upgrade.:D
