I didn't know that. When will he start getting some color? Do you have an assumption of about how old he is?

Thank you. I told my husband how much of a growth rate that the little guy was gonna have and his jaw almost hit the floor. He wasn't upset though, he says if he grows too big it's just an excuse for him to buy another, larger tank... :lol:
I feel like I just won the lottery. :D

That tank is a 125g, right? It should suffice for an adult--that's what my Filbert is in.

Yes it's a 125g. It's cute how large it is compared to how small he is.

Don't turn down the bigger tank if you have a chance though chin, then you can put more puffers in the 125 :D
