My first fish...in a long time... ery ery

[FishBeast]

Hi guys,
I have recently returned to the hobby after a long break and as a re-entry fish I got myself an ery ery.

It's only a little over 3", so at the moment it's in a 20 gallon grow out tank.

Long time ago, I had a pair of malabaricus and they were pretty bold, my ery on the other hand is a wee bit shy...except when it's feeding time! it's amazing how greedy it is.

Here's a few pics...

By the way that is a great growth rate. Mine is a little fatty. Still stuck in my QT ATM as I am in the process of moving tanks around. He is getting either his own 40B or a 55...

Growth rate is still slow on these fish. It varies a bit but once it hits 6inches will plautea for a while.

I think around 5 inches ATM he eats everything, even tried to eat a snail LOL

Time for another quick update..
The wee rascal has settled in nicely and is greedy as a the proverbial pig
I measured him the other day and he's a tad over 8"
Growth seems to have slowed down lengthwise but he's still bulking up.
