Holy crap I second the "please respond to q's"! Age, tank size, size when you got him? Very nice!!


Ok,Ok I bought him October 4th 2002 so he is a little over 5 years old and he was 4 inches. He was listed as wild caught from lake Nicarauga,I have no idea if its true. He is in a 90 gallon and before anyone flames me I am aware he needs a bigger tank. I had every intention of placing him in my 180 but its a bit occupied and he would kill everything in that tank. He is healthy and happy though and he is very,very well cared for. I don't have the room right now for any more tanks, I currently have 8 fish tanks plus 2 turtle tanks 5 kids and a dog.

Thank you for all the compliments.
 
Psh, he should do fine in a 90. This is MFK, after all. Home of the overstocking masters of the world!
 
Here are more photo's, enjoy,thanks for the compliments. This fish is my all time favorite he is practically sitting on my left shoulder as I write this since his tank sits right next to my computer if anyone comes near me he splashes them.
I also should add that I am looking into a 120 gallon tank that is wider than normal front to back to upgrade him into. I think I could fit it in my fish room but I'll have to find new spots for my 55 and 29 gallon that are there now.

Enjoy

I disagree with Harpo. I think he needs a larger tank as soon as you get an opportunity. I have to admit though that he looks healthy and happy. You've done an fantastic job raising him but you knew when you got him that he needs a bigger tank. Half the fish in the 180 can go in the 90 and the other half could be spread throughout the other 6 tanks. You should do the right thing and give him what he deserves.

Sorry, I'm not trying to flame. I'm sure there must be a reason for your setup so whatever you do, just keep taking extra special care of him like you're doing now. He's awesome.
