Nice. Thats my old istlanum.

I got a pair at about 1.5 inches and grew him out to about 8+ inches. Good to see hes still around.

He killed the female after I shipped him to kevin.

Heres a pic from when they were about 4 inches & vid of them together from March 2011.

Nice man. Glad to hear. They were spoiled rotten at my house. He and his girl had a 265g basically to themselves. There was a neet, a con, an HRP and some clown loaches with them, but they were the kings of the tank. They spawned well over 6 times for me.
