I purchased this Red Dragon back in March. Haven't shared him on this forum so here's a few photos showing his progress.

WOW, such in beautiful fish. The red is really deep and rich looking on him, I like it a lot. Nice Kok and trailer fins too. What's his diet?

thank you!

I feed him hikari gold pellets (both red & green ones), chingmix, omega one and as treats freeze dried krill and frozen blood worms.

He'll eat anything I throw in there. I've been tempted to feed him market shrimp to further enhance his colors but its risky.
 
love the avatar pic.

where you been?

where's the other RD?

The risk of getting disease increase w/ market shrimp. This happened to one of my older FHs. Shortly after feeding him market shrimp, he developed HITH.

Thanks for the kind words Red Devil.
