New thread, all tanks

So I would have to say you have some of the most stunning fish and biotopes on mfk imo. Just phenomenal.

but I do want to ask you how old roughly/ what size are your m. setiger I have a group of them and am wondering roughly how big/ old they need to be to start colouring up like that.

ps. I tagged you and left a link to this thread on another persons thread about these guys asking what they look like when mature.

Mine are 9-10”, the males are the only ones that get color like that and it happens after about a year to year and a half.... I see your in Canada so you prob got yours from Oliver lucanus (below water) which is where mine came from, Rio xingu locale ... if you didn’t all other importers seem to be bringing in Peru and Rio negro setiger which won’t look the same.
