Nothing major to update, just the "getting more comfortable over time" thing. (And for those of you who go into my Udon, Soba etc thread this will all be repeats, I just thought I should also add in here.

He really was into checking out a couple of ghost shrimp that I put in the tank, and after that I saw him hunting around in the plants so I think it was good mental stimulation. Then last night I fed some live blackworms with the fish and he was having fun hunting those down, too. Live food is a nice option here and there. Might try to get some ghost shrimp breeding in my cherry shrimp tank too.

The tail chunk that was missing has filled in but he somehow split his tail. Probably squirreling around in the vals, or maybe the chunk made it more vulnerable to a split in that spot?

Maybe if the shrimp was a little smaller it would have been easier to grab.

Are you a food?

I think you're a food but I'm not sure how to catch you.

Teug is skeptical about this "photo shoot" thing.

Well, maybe it wouldn't hurt to take a peek out of the jungle...

Not much change in pattern. Quite dark overall though she does spend her days in a jungle :). Estimate her to be 6.5", perhaps 7.0". Overall I really enjoy this fish.

You can really tell how much it's grown, starting to look like a grown up bichir

That first pic giving me chills, look like the jurassic park movie the first one when the guy is about to shoot the raptor.
