You never cease to get the good pictures! That is priceless and one picture to remember. Now if you can get him to blow bubbles for the pose I would bow!

:nicefish:
It's all in taking tons of pics. Eventually, a good one will sneak up on you, lol. Gonna teach him to blow bubbles next, lol. Or maybe play pool, lol.

He was only $13.95 I think, if I remember right. He's currently 7 inches. The albinos usually don't get much larger than that, but occasionally can get to 12 inches. Other sites say 20 inches, but I'm not really sure about that.

He's in the standard 75G. 6-7 inches is usually as big as albinos get, but some can get bigger. But not usually more than 12 inches. Will see if he get's any bigger. They are a good size for a 55/75G tank.

As for tank mates, BN Plecos, Bolivian Rams, Roseline Shark, Red Tail Shark, rummy nose tetras, and a bunch of cory cats.

And yes, they do eat fish, lol. I think I'm missing 2 rummies now.

Shrimp pellets, Hikari Sinking Carnivore Pellets, he even eats flake food as well, also krill, chopped pieces of frozen shrimp and fish, and also nibbles on algae wafers and vegi flake. He eats just about anything, really, lol. Oh, and frozen bloodworms too.

They also seem to have a very keen sense of smell. Anytime I put food in the tank, he senses it almost immediately, and comes looking for it, lol. His thinking is, stomach first, and everything else waits, lol.

do you every feed him live things? like ghost shrimp or small feeder fish?
I lost my lone ghost shrimp who has been in my tank for about 6 months. Either the loaches or the 4-inches Senegal bichir got the better of the poor dear.:? He has been staying among the powerheads and driftwoods away from the large cave where all loaches congregate.
