A trip down memory lane...

I was sorting through some old photos and I found this...

1"

And look at him now!

6.5"

It's amazing how time flies.

This guy has survived a lot. Years uneducated fishkeeping: chlorinated water, untested water, ugly gravel, bad tankmates. And, knock on wood, has never been sick or ill. What a trooper!

badass!!! I want one so bad.

He's a beauty. One of my favorite fish for sure

How long did it take for him to get to there???? My male has just a few spots so far.... not sure how old he is.

 

[convictkid]

What type of fish is that?

What type of fish is that?

Did you read the title? :lol: It's a Phenochilus Tanzania, and a good looking one at that.... opcorn:

 

[CDMOK]

Sorry guys, I haven't been keeping it up!

Shamish, I believe we've caught up via PM.

ConvictKid, as Tybo pointed out, it's A Phenochilus Tanzania. :lol:

Thanks again for all the compliments! :thumb:

Wait a second I want to know how long it took for him to mature to that stage too! :x :x

:lol:

Mine is around 4.5" and just got his first spot the other day!

 

[CDMOK]

Ahahaha.

I told Shamish that it was about 1.5 years before he first started speckling. The thing is - when I first got him, I had no idea he had that special quality! So I wasn't expecting/keeping track If only I could go back and time and mark the date.

Must have been a pleasant surprise! No wonder he's speckled up so much, I just looked at your stock list. He has an entire fish county to himself
