I picked this guy up on January 24th and since then, he has already grown about a half inch (got him at 3.5", and now he's about 4"), so I've decided to start a thread documenting his growth. So, here's the first round of pics:

(Note: I wasn't able to get any pics when I first got him; he didn't handle the acclimation to my aquarium very well. After the first day in the tank, both his eyes were completely clouded, some of his slime coat was peeling away, and he was showing some beginning signs of ich, but with multiple 100-gallon water changes and loads of aquarium salt, he managed to pull through)
