He would be lucky to be as long as your index finger.

Not much to them at that size either to be honest.

 

No luck with the commercial foods yet either.

Small powerhead near the top of the tank and drop cut fish/prawn or other frozen food into the current to get it moving should entice it into feeding.

 

It is relatively early in the Toga season - they are small at this time of the year.

Just thought id drop in.

 

Kevin is doing well. (don't ask, have kids and was sort of was named by my wife, cause it is going to grow into "big kev")

I had him on some tiny old slow sinking pellets from years back. going OK ish.

You can make out the tiny scale spots as well as some initial spots on the fins.  The tail fins are yellowish.

 

Got my order of aquaculture food in, as had run out of 6mm pellets for the Jag.

He/ She was rather impressed, as the recent move had shocked it badly (going from hard as scheme water to rainwater and somehow crashing my bacteria).

It got her pattern nice and dark and instantly starting smashing the glass reflection.

 

I ordered some 3mm floating to try with Kevin and he is happily smashing them.

Cant wait for the growth rate to explode!

I also keep telling the other half I regret not getting 2.... she gives me the evils!

Good to hear he/she is doing well.

 

If you bought two chances are you'd end up with 1 anyway. Either 1 or 5+ with Scleropages.
