Mine is 4"...I got lucky and a fellow MFKer sold me his....he had just got from an online vendor a month before. Gave me a scare....got ich initially and then refused to eat for almost two weeks. Now that its acclimated I love it....it is eating cut up market shrimp, earthworms and krill now....such a tiny mouth for a dat. My 2" AT eats larger food then my NGT which is actually 4x larger in mass!
 
Second day hes been in my new grow-out tank, hes in there with a smaller indo!
Not sure whether I should put some more fish in the tank (3foot), was thinking 3 clown loaches and a redtail black shark!

Hes eating bloodworms at the moment, but he takes the BW really slow and doesn't "go for it" but i guess hes still settling in!

I can see your one is really thick but mine is kind of on the skinny side as the previous owner only fed him once every 2 days or so... I might start feeding him twice a day to bulk him up first!
You feeding your ngt twice a day?

My tank is fully stocked so I do one feeding per day....I got him on the thick side but all my dats are the same or bigger. I feed Massivore to those that take it....krill and frozen silversides are the primary diet and they do well on it.
 
Ahh I see,
thanks man! I'll probably try and get him onto massivores, hopefully he'll take those without too much trouble.
