People come on here and post pics of their big bad favorite fish all the time. I've done, it. You've done it.

But, how about this--post the fish in your tank you're most excited about. The one that's gonna be the NEXT big boy in your tank. The one that's really coming along.

Mine is this Breidorhi. I've had him close to a year now? The old one I had died, and he was awesome. This one has never really measured up.....until lately. He just keeps growing, finally starting to get the male forehead look, and the cool red streaks in his dorsal fins. But this one has much more complex color--deep dark purple color. I think he might surpass my old one day. He's 6 inches now, and still growing, so I think it's very probable he'll reach the full 12-14 size for the species. I'm excited.

The first one's a Deppi? I like those. Remind me a lot of Regani, same kinda iridescent look. I like the worming on the face a lot. Second one's ..... thorichthys of some type?

Yup that is deppii. The other is pasionis. Both should grow to a whopping 6-7" lol.

I'm most excited for this melanura lago peten. He's growing at a much false rate then all the others so I'm assuming it's a male especially since he's the boss of the tank. This pic is from about 3 weeks ago so hes quite a bit bigger now. I'll post an updated pic next week when I'm finished treating my fish for HITH. Bummer they got it. Hoping for the best though. This guy has really nice coloring at only roughly 3 inches now.

I'm most excited about these two rivulatus. Like the male showing signs of nuchal at such small size, and this white saum female. I'm hoping to turn these guys into a white saum project. I just dedicated a 100g tank to them
