Mine is about 7-7.5" and he just hides all the time... that is the real reason I put him in his own tank!!! I'm trying to get him to come out more, but he still hides and it is only him and a 5-6" TSN catfish in the tank. I'm just frustrated with him and might use the space for another fish soon!!
 
dont worry about it once he hits 10 to 12 inches he wont hide at all ...my bros rtm is pushin 12 13 inches he tries attackin everyone through the glass and mine is startin to flare at me when i get to close...

I hope so... we'll see. Thanks.
 
I really hate how some of my fish are so dark that they blend right in with the back ground!!!
NO! THIS LOOKS GREAT, as though they're emerging from an abyss and disappearing again. The Amazon is as murky as the Mississippi. I've been wrapping foil around my lights because it's too #$%& bright.

And that Green Terror rocks!

Thank you for the kind words and I love how a few of my fish look with the black sand, but some... Trimacs, Freddy, Syn, Grammode and Black Belt get too dark for my taste. The GT, Festae, Escondido, Xilo, Midas, RD, Midevil and Cuban look good with the dark sand. A few others are some where in the middle of both. Again, thank you.
 
I like dark natural colored gravel with black background , I think they show the colors the best although I have a grow out tank with white sand , it looks good with wood and rocks but fish hold their colors to light for my taste.
