Little man is doing well! Been here just over a week now. His nuchal hump has filled back out (was quite "deflated" when he arrived after his worldwide travels). Today the new full spectrum, fully adjustable LED light I ordered to test out came in and I'm quite happy with it. He looked great under the white LED I had on the tank but I've been able to adjust this new one to still look very natural while being a warmer light that brings out his red more - but still can be dimmed to a low light level that I and the fish prefer, not the crazy bright light you often see on tanks. Actually thinking about buying larger versions of the same light for my 8ft and 6ft tanks too - the orange of my goldies and Tolken, my creamsicle midas, would benefit from it too.

Phenex got an upgrade! Little dude has about doubled in size since he arrived from Thailand in March. Still had lots of room in his 40 breeder he'd been in, but was going to need an upgrade eventually and I'm of the opinion that sooner is better than later. He's in a 75gal now (for now) and he moved next door to Tolken. Took the opportunity to change from the natural coloured substrate to the charcoal gray pebbles to darken his colouring up a bit...he's lost some of the colour he had when he first got here. Not sure I like it as much because he's small and a little harder to see now. But when he's full grown I'm sure it'll be better. He handled the move like a champ, was out being sociable within minutes of being added and is a super friendly little guy.
