Thanks everyone for all the compliments, I will have to try and get some updated pics posted. I did manage to measure him and in roughly four months he has gone from about 9" to pretty close to a foot and has also added some girth on to his body. These fish are pricey but if you have an opportunity to get one they are well worth it. He is allot more active than I expected and actively searchs for food once he get a the smell of it. The best accomplishment of all was getting him to eat pellets which I suppliment with shrimp and freeze dried krill.
