Thanks a lot for the kind words. I would guess 8" TL, though can't be certain since I haven't taken him out for the measurement.

How big was he when you got him, and how long did it take him to reach his current size?

Thanks a lot for the comments.

How big was he when you got him, and how long did it take him to reach his current size?

He was ~1.5" when I first got him. He had 6 siblings with him, and he was the fastest growing and most aggressive of all. I think his first 6-8 months were when he grew very fast (to ~7") but was very drab since the female dominated him a lot. It was only when he passed her size and started being the "king" of the tank that I started seeing amazing colors on him.

I have had him since last May I think.
