One year anniversary

[baconmeupscotty]

So today marks one year that I've had my Senegal bichir Merle. I bought her (and a 10g tank) because I thought she looked nifty and made all the typical beginner mistakes. She's upgraded from the 10g to a 20g long to a 55g and now finally a permanent home in her 75g. Just thought I'd show off her transformation

I share the same beginner's mistake, mines from 5g, to 25g, to 135g... lol But really poly growth doesn't just end within a year, be ready once it's bulks up. It'll be big dragon like when it's cruising on that time.

I've had mine from the very begining. She's now almost 11 inches and will eat anything that fits in her mouth. This is her at 7".

When I measured last month she was 9 inches. Her growth has slowed considerably; she was previously growing an inch or so a month. Hopefully she will make the full 12 some time during her life.

Age hasn't spoiled it a bit! Happy birthday mrs. Merle!

Thanks everyone! I'd pass the compliments along to her but she'd probably just stare blankly lol.
