It's only been 4 months since I got her from Wes, but she's growing at a really good rate.

First shot is the congicus in quarantine when I got it, with four delhezi.

The congicus is the small one in the center with no dark stripes:

Her first in-tank shots:

Later on with more growth:

And here she is now, measured her in the same tub from the first pic:

Wow. Only 4 months? That growth rate is nuts! What are you feeding?

She doubled in length, and probably tripled in girth. She gets tilapia fillet chopped up and massivore and hikari bio gold + as her staple, and occasionally night crawlers. I also recently added beefheart to the mix.

I agree, she keeps getting better. I wasn't sure how she would turn out since she was roughed up during the capture and shipping process, but Wes took good care of her and treated with praziquantel to get rid of all the worms, and she was the first one out of those wild bichirs in the first pic to start eating.

I kinda knew she would grow huge fast because of that lol

mazing congi mate! love the intense dark base

Thanks dude, I had a feeling you might enjoy these pics :)

Can't wait to see Waldo settled in since you have lighter substrate than me. He's going to look killer I'm sure.
