Nice looking fish! Mine will be 2 years old in 3 more months, gonna put a before/after pic of it when the time comes. Went from about 4.5-7" in 2 years. Dpesn't really want to be pet though, but will allow it and even a full hand move when trying to net another fish out and it is in the way.

It's pretty impressive, the big guys develope pink tips on their fins when the get older, especially the australian ones

That fish is huge. I am amazed on how fat its gut is in that video. I would have to feed multiple times a day, everyday, and be there for a while as I add the food to make sure it is stuffed without extra being wasted. I'd leave a nori clip full, but it likes to rip it off and let if float away even when it isn't hungry.

Treny, you could had feed that puppy full each time with its temperment.
