Male A. Hogaboomorum update, 13"

[Gourami Swami]

Here are a few iphone pics of the big guy. He still appears to be growing and his throat is getting pretty red. I will be selling him cheap soon as I have to break down my tank to move, if anyone is interested in the nj/ny area contact me

btw- thats not ich on the clown barb, its a bacterial infection he got after being attacked. currently dipping him for it

I just acquired 6 hogs about 3 weeks ago from Mo they are 1.5"-3". They are a first for me and I am enjoying them.

very nice amp, if i were the barb i would watch out for the johanna pike

Nice stock. Has the Hog been sick lately? Somehow I expected a 13" fish to have a little more mass than that.

What kind of barb is that and how big?

Gotta love anything that is Amphilophus. He's a beast.

 

[fwlion]

I agree...though do we know for a fact that it's male and not female? Either way nice pickup

Hes probavbly about 11" without his tail fin, 13" total. Hes pretty bulky though. Im pretty sure hes a male as well, i find the hogaboomorums dont get the giant nuchal humps like an amarillo or citrinellus or something. He isnt agressive to the point of beating my other fish up but he does run the tank. thanks for the comments everyone

oh and the bard is a clown bard abour 4.5"
