[freshwaterfishing]

So finally this little bugger let me take some pics of him today. He actually even posed lol. Right now hes eating crushed flake, brine shrimp and hikari Chiclid staple minis which he really really loves. Hes in a 10 gallon right now and probley next week were going to move him to a 35 by himself.
He like to draw in the sand too which is really cute.

lookin' fine! how big do these get compared to the normal variety?

 

[freshwaterfishing]

Thankyou! They get up to 8 inches where a regualr male JD can get up near 12 inches.

Looking good! How big is it right now?

 

[freshwaterfishing]

Hes just over 2 inches. Im really praying he gets over the 3inch mark.

 

[peathenster]

stunning little fella! Time to get him/her some friends

 

[freshwaterfishing]

Ya i do eventually want to put him with someone but i really want to wait untill hes passed the 3 inch mark so i know its preety safe that hes going to be around for awhile.


Anyone have any ideas on what would be good tankmates for him/her?

gold saum, regular jd,gold jd,any of the texas cichs,firemouth,convict, depends on the size of tank but,many types of vieja could work.

You name them & MFK will sort them out.If you choose.
