thanks will keep the treats to minimum and might just end the treats when their all done.
I know I've been calling it a "he" this whole time, but can you guys help me out and tell if its a male of female?
Was really looking forward to see a bit of hump! Regardless it's still a beauty!
Will definitely keep everyone posted with the progression.

Really nice. Im guessing it will grow to 6-8" max and it appears to be a male. If you want to change up its diet with an occasional treat you should get some freeze dried krill. My fish go nuts for krill.
yea I'm hoping he'll grow to atleast 6" and not max out any smaller. He loves the frozen bloodworms and I'll let him have a taste of the dreeze dried krill, still have a good bit left from my previous fishes.
Anyways, I know its only been a few days since I took the last pics, but here's some newer ones, close-ups lol. He seems to have lost some red in the belly and the lip. I don't really mind, but could it be because of the black background? It's vinyl so I can just peel it off but its a bit of work to get behind the tank now lol. I was thinking because of the gravel, rocks and the few fake plants I could get away with the black bg.
Is it just me or do you guys think his kok gained a bit more too?
Some tank shots for those of you who would like to see.

Looks to me he's gaining some head. Fh is kind of dark, in my opinion he would do better in a blue background tank.

Pull the background off this weekend. Adding some green and red plants will give him a boost too. Really looks good though - his head has bumped a bit even if his color mellowed right now. FH change color as they grow too, some a little and some a lot, so expect some changes over time.
Yea I'm most likely going to pull the background off in not too long. Just did a 25%wc today and added some fake plants with more colour, he lightened up a bit showing some red again. We'll see how that goes. Also he's getting really comfortable with his environment now and seems to have settled in, just swimming around digging gravel here and there and swimming up to me when I'm around.
What are your opinions on mirror training? More stressful than helpful? Pros and cons? I've been thinking about it but don't really wanna stress the guy out.
