The last thread I posted of him was at the two year mark and the old video I posted of him was about 4-5 months. He started out the same as the rest with the barred midas look. I can't find any pics of him at the one year mark.
your female is gorgeous, male has a nice shape with nice blue eyes, although i personally am not a big fan of huge humps... well done sticking with him for three years!-)
This guy did start off looking barred.
He also eats well. I only feed him every other day. I am trying to keep him on the slim side. He will eat as long as you throw food in the tank.
Thanks for all the replies. I already replaced the batteries on the smoke alarm lol.
