Thanks, he is coming along nicely :)

His seam on his tail seems to improve week after week all of a sudden. For a while there it wasn't getting thicker and almost appeared to thin out.

Yeah maybe lol his belly was much flatter when I got home. The catfish were very hungry too.
 
It really is a remarkable transformation in his cadual fin. I think you have some jedi powers. Some kind of jedi mind trick. What are you going to will him to do next :D

Yeah I didn't expect that either to be honest but it happened. The fry made it to free swimming but at the time I had 6 GTs in there and the mom couldn't keep them from.getting eaten up.

I really don't want to raise fry anyhow, I just wanted to keep a pair.

I moved recently and was forced to hack down all my bolbitis because they were looking terrible. The plants being out of water for a day must have shocked them. The needle leaf fern had to be thinned out too. Lots of leaves dying. The tank should bounce back in a few months or so.

I also want to find some rock for around the base of the wood to add. Darker color. Not sure what yet though.

Have you looked into Dragon Stone? Its got a lot of texture though, not sure if you want smooth rocks or not but i love the way Dragon stone looks in a tank. It would definitely contrast well with that sand. Nice tank. Im so interested in this thread as I hope to keep a pair of GTs once I can upgrade my tank to a much larger one. What size is that tank they are in?
 
Now I understand it's a 75 which is what I want to have but was hoping to keep a pair that is very well bonded. I guess i will have to try it and see if it works. There is a very young pair at my LFS ive been looking at....love that Caribsea sand btw
 
It's just the male now and has been this way for a bit. The pair was breeding well but too much aggression pre and post spawns which was pretty much all the time.

I decided to go with only the male and I am happy with the decision.

As for what I will want next from this guy. I would be absolutely thrilled if he lives to be an old fish with a size of 10" or more.

No manic here though, just good care and decent genetics. I still think his caudal fin has a fair bit to go in terms of color and seam thickness. Kai is still a young fish :)
 
I wouldn't suggest caribsea because of how fine it is. The GT's will pick it up and it will end up in your filters. It also is prone to anaerobic pockets because of how it compacts.

As for pairs, its best to try and see how they get along. Just be prepared to divide them or remove one if things get too rough.
