The evolution of Shamu.

Shamu as of 10/13/2011

You can see a couple loose scales from trying to get the tiger barbs and bumping into the wood.

Trying to make a move on my fiance. Cheeky bastard.

Nice! I bet that you're glad you decided to keep him.

WoW, he has really come out of his shell. His color is perfect and those trails are sweet. Looks like he is also getting those yellow circles around his eyes like my guy. How large would you say he is now, 10-11"?

 

[NWatson]

He looks great. IMO a perfect Midas if you want orange.

 

[fishman09]

one of the best midas out there. and very nice pics as well

I'd say he's 10". I only feed him once every other day or so, and his 6 months of not eating didn't help him put on size any.

What have you been feeding him? I love his shape, albeit possibly from the 6 months he wasn't eating.

 

[tydus]

He's beautiful!

 

[Modest_Man]

He gets NLS floating 3mm and sinking 1.5mm. I really like his shape too, which I attribute more to the not over feeding bit (feeding once every other day).

He's with me for the long haul and I'd like to maximize lifespan so I'm feeding less to avoid fatty deposits.

He's looking great!! You've done a great job with him. Hats off for sticking with him through the whole not eating thing. Sure paid off..
