nice gt, nice buttikoferi too
Nice shots...
That butti is what, about 5-6"? Hard to get a sense of scale from pics. The GT is showing nice colors. The 2nd pic down, is that a carpinti or a Texas?
What size tank do you have these guys in?

timo-:D
i'm getting a lil better at taking pics but i have to literally take close to 100 pics and delete the rest,imo the pics are not doing my fish any justice (i hate to toot my own horn);) but my fishes colors are awsome and until they show up on my pics i won't be satisfied(i want mojo quality pics):p if thats possible :(
i appreciate the compliment- thanks.

sammy, the fish is doing good. its in a 55 all by itself at the moment, im gonna fatten it up a bit before i place it with mine. mine is almost double its size so i want it to be strong and healthy before it goes in there. later on ill check it out up close to see if i have opposite sexes now. :) i went back into the store i just pulled my car around up front but you were already gone. i wanted to see if yo uneeded anything.. next time i guess..

:) thanks for the update,i'm glad i got him out of there in time coz my gt wouldn't let him eat in peace.oh!! the reason you didn't see me in the store is coz i forgot i was going to check out NJ Pet on rt3(very small fish room)pretty good prices(if you can find something w/a price tag on it).

another update: saturday night and sunday it spent the whole day laying on its side, slightly curled up. I wasnt eating which i didnt expect anyway. but this morning the fish started eating and was chasing its shadow up and down the corner of the tank when i walked in on it when i woke up. but as soon as i turned the lights on down he went to lay on its side. but i dropped som efoo din and took a few steps back and stood still and up he went and was doing fine. this fish seems very shy. bu tso far so good

he was doing that alot the last week or so :( atleast he's got a tank to himself,i think he may just need to be left alone for a while(no other fish)and he'll be ok.i glad you got him coz my friend was planning on putting him w/a real nasty con and jack(both are smaller)but that don't make it better.
he's a great fish,when i would do water changes and vac he would swim all around and thru my hand-sometimes i'd take some krill into the tank and he'd just swim there and take chunks of krill out of my fingers.
p.s he will bite if you move to fast lol.
well if possible keep me posted and thanks for taking him.
