looking good! all from Wes?

is the little guy in the 1st pic the guys that passed?

super make me want a grow out group! just got everyone on pellets after months...

is this your first tem? i wonder what the captive size is? - maybe when i get my pond i’ll give it a thought.

i feel like i’ve not seen a lot other than Victor down in florida...

thanks for pics!
Yup all from Wes and yup that was the poor guy. But normally I dont like growing out babies because theyre so fragile. This isn't my first Tem, I've actually had 2 or 3 previously but I always got tired of them. I'm thinking since this will be a whole new locale to watch grow I should be a bit more interested in it. It already has slight differences from a regular temensis so Im psyched to see it grow. I know they can still attain 2.5-2.75ft in captivity easy. As it is I'll need to get a bigger tank for him, I wouldnt even keep one my tank long term. Theres a few videos on youtube of the adults and they look insane. A lot seem to get kinda obese though because they lack swimming room I've noticed. Theres a lot of temensis fry circulating but its just like the overfarmed monos/ocells in that they never get very exciting so I highly suggest looking for fry from specific breeders or wc ones if available.
