I'd ?

He's 2" and in my tank ;)
We don't get these around here often so I couldn't pass

Thinking of grabbing the scomb/raph in my other photo thread to grow out together. Is that an ok pairing ?!?!

Thanks

Very cool I've seen a few places with small dats and I always think I should get them and when I go back they are gone. lol What did you give for this guy if you don't mind my asking.
 
Dats used to be impossible to find. Now I see these little indos everywhere it seems. Nice pickup he looks nice.
 
He was eating feeders only when I got him

4 hours in the tank and he's already eating blooworms !!!

I know they grow slow, but what I can I expect?
How long until 6" and 10" ???

Long time man these fish grow like snails. I raised mine from 2 to 3.5 and that took probably almost a year. I sold them to another member at that size not sure how much they have grown since then.
 
I've had mine about a year (I think??), and he went from 2.5-3" to about 7" now. They're slow growers, but not THAT slow... at least not when they're young. Maybe once they hit 10" they slow down a whole lot more...

Mine eats on live feeders (every once in a while), freeze dried krill, and market shrimp.
