Very nice makes me cant wait anymore for tomorrow as I am picking one up from my part time job. About 5 inches give or take an 1/2". But that tigs colors are nice. Besides the neons what else do you feed it to give it some growth. Any tips or stuff I should watch out for?

lol what! neons are like £2 each here!

I live in england princess and you can get them cheaper than that. On ebay you can get a 100 for less than fifty quid including postage from a guy called eddydis. Or you could just flutter your eyelashes at your lfs owner and ask for a cheap deal if you buy bulk! Still not the cheapest way of raising a fish when a 100 only lasts about 2 weeks but tig's are so hard to grow on and live neon's are a tried and trusted way of growing them on. The tig won't touch anything dead yet.
