rhom tank update

[jp80911]

just an update of my 55g tank and rhom. got him last year Nov. from Aquascape.
he stopped eating prepared food after I rearranged the tank but now I finally got it back on. I think he has the taste for squid more than shrimp.
still skittish with the lights on, hides either side of the tank under the two plants and most active with the moon light on.
pictures aren't great since he is very camera shy and my camera sux.
anyway, hope you all enjoy.

ps. the big white reflection you see in the full tank shot was from the light for my mini pond.

sweet fish dude! arnt these the ones that get huge!!!!

Thanks.
Yea, in the wild they can probably get up to 20"+ but I think 16" or 17" is the biggest one I've seen in home aquarium. but since I got it when it's small it'll probably won't get that big.
I'll be happy if I can get it to 10", after many years.

no idea where was the collection point, but was told it's a blue diamond rhom when I bought it from aquascape.
don't think it got any bigger since I only had him for two months, it is guesstimated at 3.5-4"

thanks Anthony. for some reason it's not as blue as yours, hopefully is because it is still young.
also, he eats more if fed him live compare to squid or shrimp...is that normal?

well thats very normal for my young rhom it seems like he never eats just nibbles. just keep trying and throw in a healthy feeder every now and then that you quarantined( just be careful you dont feed a catfish an post pics)!! haha lots of flamers bro. but you already know that. hell get more color, looks really good tho post some more pixx when you can lookin reall good
