Sunny (a Midevil photo shoot)

[Gruff Master]

Here are a few pictures of Sunny. He was unusually accepting of being photographed today so I took advantage of the moment. It makes sense that he would do this on a day when I haven't cleaned the glass or the algae. Oh well! He only bit the glass once. He's about 7.5" on a diet of market shrimp, Ghost Shrimp, Hikari Gold and Carnivore Pellets, some NLS (still trying), Alagae Wafers, and fish fillet.

Thanks for the nice words, everyone! He eats well but for such a mean fish, he doesn't care for live food other than Ghost Shrimp. Worms are inspected and then ignored. Joe, I'll get a video up soon. My ten year-old heater exploded today in my 120, so I've been busy buying a new one and replacing the old one.

He's going to be a beast. Looks larger then 7.5" in the pics.......so thick a tall.

Great looking fish. I have a Red Isletas who refuses to eat worms too!!! All other fish in the tank will eat them, but him?? And most of them grew up together... he just will not take a bite?? Anyway, great job with this guy.
