Thanks! Only about 7 1/2 inches - just got him this morning - very, very active compared to the other one. (My other one is a lump, and is about 20 inches.) Already ate a worm - about 1/2 hour into the tank. Didn't miss a beat.
He went right into my 53 gallon half-circle tank for now - then a 75, then my other 300, and then a pond.
Thanks! I certainly will. If you haven't already - check out "CLIFF" - (search) - and you will see a couple of progress threads on my other one.
