Very nice....So how long have you had it and when did the spangling really start to be noticeable?.

thanks Ken,
Ive had him since dec. 09 at 3".. the Spangling started comming out when he reached around 5.5" or so. they started spangling on his back tail, then slowly on the anal fin, then the pelvics, and now he is getting lots of spots comming out on his dorsal

Here is a pic I dug up from the day I got him .. he is the top one.. the bottem Kelberi died from unknown causes not too long after I bought it .. he had TONS of spangling on his back fin

its been a long time since I posted a update pic of the kelberi. He is still small only about 7-7.5" current diet is freeze dried krill.

WOW go's to show good things sometimes come in small packages!!!!

Wow I'm loving all that bling man!!!! I hope that once mine gets in the 150 i'll be able to get good pics of him. He's got lot's of spangles going on but I can never get a pic since he only comes out from the back of his 55 to snatch a feeder. Your's is gonna be insane in another 5 or 6 inches for sure.
