Thanks for all the positive comments, they are much appreciated. Nobody appreciates the hobby like people on MFK!!!! The Melanurus is one of my favorites, I received him about 3 weeks ago from Rapps. The Dat I bought when it was about 1.5" so he's grown quite abit since then. Man, I can't believe how expensive they are, I found a couple of them in Vegas 10-11" for 250.00 and 350.00 respectfully.
