They look incredible mate.

Every time you post new pix I kick myself for not grabbing a pair of the same size which also lived in full FW.

Phenomenal! Fanatastic, these fish don't get nearly enough credit. Most are sold in small pets store, immaciated, and soon to die, rarely seen fat and thriving!

Yeah awesome fish. Mate has a couple more I may grab and add to my pair. The zoo here has ~40 adults in with their big salt water croc. Looks great. I'm really not sure about the literature on these fish. Most states a max size of 30cm. I measured mine when I moved them 33cm and 32cm. The larger ones at the zoo look another 1/3 on top of mine. So I don't think 40cm + is out of the question.

I agree. Like i said in an earlier post. These fish really do need constant feeding to keep them at peak condition. I am constantly throwing greens into my tank for the scats and giant gourami.
