Show Elegance

I believe I have one of the largest living in the world as far as captive elegance goes. It is 13 in. across and has been in my tank for over a year now. It gets bigger every month and has always eaten when i offer food. I have a zooplancton stock large enough to feed it otherwise. The funny thing is everyone talks about how they are misshandled during shipping.... When i recieved mine, it was in a bag with no water at all. The bag had a leak and completely drained into the box. I thought it would for sure not make it but its grown about 6 times its size since i have had it. Another thing, I don't have mine in the sand bed. It is placed in a rock creves right above the sand bed and seems to love it there.
