Nice picture. How big is your RD? What size tank do you have?

Nice RD, I have always liked the red and white better than solid red or orange.

he's close to 8" now. He's in a 55 gal tank right now. I never intended to buy him as i have a baby one in another tank. But he was in the LFS and they were saying they didnt know what to do with him (he was a trade in)he has grown almost 2" since i bought him. I plan on putting him in atleast a 90gal hopefully a 120 gal tank next month. I just hope i can keep the JD and the Pike that are in the tank alive til then.

Thanks guys, this is my best fish so far. I was also thinking about getting a mate i too think this one is a female, but im hoping the one i have in the grow up tank is a male. Here he is:

I'm going to have to get a newer pic of him soon. I think his hump is becoming more pronounced now.
