New Beast

[RonTheRHOM]

just got back from a different lfs. and stumbled across this....
Ron has obviously had to go, but he has a home tonight in the polystyrene box that this came in untill i get to the lfs 2moro.
Labelled as gold piranha 8" gold diamond rhom, his eyes are just turning that deep ruby red. managed to pick him up for just £35, and he had been imported just 2 weeks ago.

still a bit stressed, but hes seriously aggressive... had my hand in the tank with him doing some adjustments for him and he was going for me lol

Nice pick up. I miss my gold diamon rhom. He was a beast.

By the way who is ron?

 

[RonTheRHOM]

lol... ron is the baby rhom i have. i got him at about 1.5" and he is now 4", but im too impatient to wait for him to grow

 

[ol78hunter]

[RonTheRHOM]

The only thing is rhoms grow so much slower than red bellies. Once rhoms hit like 4-6 inches they only get like 1-2 inches A YEAR!

To me having to wait through so much growth makes having a huge beast that much better. Its like money earned! But to be honest, I don't think I would have the patience to wait that long.
