Is it the lighting that brings out his colors? Yellow = ~3000k in the light spectrum
Kind regards,

Re: Meet Master Yoda (Young Fahaka)
The photos were taken with a normal whitebalance. The water is a bit yellow because of the wood in the tank so that might give the idea its different. But thats really his colouring
And as you can see he has been on a little diet and looks a little more flat at his belly

Wow pic 4 is immense
It's amazing how easy maintenance is. If done regularly and thoroughly
Re: Meet Master Yoda (Young Fahaka)
Beautiful, I've never seen one pass 14" although it's said they can. Likely not in captivity would be my guess. Awesome fish.
