Only because I have just obtained a second 10" fahaka, my first one is about 12-13" now.

Thanks

Thank You!!!

Well silly me! I know from experience and have been told many times not to place live plants in it's tank. But I just love the look and texture of living plants. So I when to the LFS and went crazy I purchased about $150 worth of live plants(sprite and horn wort) and Chemical support. Got home set t...

I'm just questioning the spots around the head and face ant lateral lines seem different. i'm just baffelled!?!?

I've never seen a Fahaka at that stage of coloring.

The spots around the head and face say otherwise?

Thanks
