remember this little fellow...
two, maybe three months on.. here he his.... it's amazing (and quite scary) how fast he's growing...
Please excuse the sandy bits, he is forever spitting it everywhere, including all over himself... searching for copepods apparently....

I just saw one of those at Marine Soultions, he was so pretty. I wanted to take him home but I don't think I have a big enough tank for him. What size tank is he in. I can't believe it was only 2 months between pictures. I'm glad my gsp have grown up too much then again I have only had them for like 2 weeks!

he's in a 60 for a bit, and then will be moved into a 100G when i come back from honeymoon in a couple of months... a move i am so not looking forward too...!
Then we will see what size he grows to and assess it from there.

He is very cute! Its amazing that he changed colors like that! I mean he went from being totally being black to being brown. The one I saw was pretty big I would saw about 7 inches or so and nice and round. I wish I could afford a 100 gallon tank!

had the 100G made, cost £130 for the tank, and £40 for the lid... definitely the way to go when buying bigger tanks... saved loads!

Ya my boyfriend is going to make his own tank with his Grandfather but not out of glass. I love glass tanks but they can be expensive, well I hope to see some more pics he is beautiful!

He is maybe two inches now, and was 2-3 cm when i got him a couple of months ago... i'm hoping he'll slow down a bit as i really can't move him for another three months....
but i guess most animals grow rapidly to get past the 'small enough to get eaten' stage.. and then slow as they get up to adult size..
well i hope anyway.
