growing really well on Tilapia with the occasional Massivore
Has hit 11’’. Bought 2 at 3’’ in March. The smaller one hasn’t done well at all and it’s only about 6 inches-I’ve put in a quarantine tank as it was getting bullied by the big girl and unfortunately it appears that it’s got a spinal problem as it swims really awkwardly and has quite a nasty bend in the spine. I’m figuring it had some trauma to cause this is I didn’t notice it before. It can’t swim swim and shimmies when it does

I second that. Also, in the back ground of the first pic what is blue and black striped fish?

I understand what you mean. Everytime I see one for sale I have to debate with myself internally for about 30 minutes and convince myself not to get one.
Wait, so he's over 30 years old?
