Wow thanks for the picture. You're right, very drastic difference. I purchased by tig 3 wks ago and I had a choice between straight bars like yours and an oddball pattern. I picked the straight bars... now I am glad I did. Thanks a lot for the post!balton777;4239908;4239908 said:He is, isn't he?
At 5" I was feeding cut up prawns, krill, mysis shrimp, bloodworms etc. His bars were straight up and down. They started forking apart as he grew. Here's a pic of him as a juvie to get a side by side comparison to see the striping difference. And what a difference there is. Look at the "V" with a "y" in it on his mid section in the adult pic. Where did that come from?
