He's really starting to color up, but he's still a skinny thing. It's amazing he eats way more than the other Gars and he blows up too a bloated mess, but he seems to burn it off in a day. Anyway here's some updated pics of the bugger! Hope you enjoy the pics!
Great looking gars you got there, all of my shortnose have very subdued markings. I like how the lighting sets off the blue in the plants you got for decor. Shortnose always seem to gorge themselves but are perfectly fine the next day. My shortnose eat as much as my longnose which is over twice their size.
Yeah, my shortnose are big eaters as well. They don't really seem to put on girth until they get up to the 17-18" range, and even then they don't really get the thick body like Florida's do.
Thanx I can't wait for them to put some size on them and become real )v(onsters!

I appreciate the compliment I was hoping a high contrast decor would make the tank more eye-catching.
