Here's my new grow out project. He's probably a hair over 3" TL. Currently in a 40 breeder by himself, and very out going. Sorry for the bad pics.
New silver saum rivulatus

He's gorgeous!
A couple of questions, if I may..
What does he eat?
My girl eats NLS thera+a and the odd NLS algae max here and there that she steals from the pleco she shares with and she has beautiful colours. By far the prettiest gt I've seen in person - male or female. Although I may be biased because she's my baby.
What size tank is he going in eventually? My girl is around 6" and in a 4'x2'x2' tank with a L397 pleco and still has (imo) plenty of space in there. I can't say I'd have the same opinion if she was a large bulky male though. She definitely uses every square centimeter of that tank and can go from one end to the other quicker than I can blink...
And finally... Does he have a name!?! A fish that nice deserves a nice name.

I have only had him a couple of weeks, but he mostly gets fed NLS cichlid pellets. I also have a sinking algae pellet that he gets a couple of a day, but he seems to make a mess with those.
I have a 125 gallon that is stocked with a group of 8 kubotai botia and two dwarf SA bumblebee cats. We are moving in July. If he makes the move with us that will be his ultimate home.
No name, but I dont name my fish or snakes.
