Stunning species example!!! That is one wondrous monsterfish. Glad he survived UPS. (Before they started mandatory pee-testing, it's nickname amongst employees at least in Cali was United Pot Smokers. "Wow, man, I dropped another box.")
Body shape puts me in mind of my Paratilapia polleni--he's still a juvie, tho, at 4.5 inches--hoping he goes full size since I've had him since he was just an inch. Enjoy, and thanks for sharing the pix!!!!
