Not quite 6 inches yet. Having a hell of a time getting a decent pic. This guy runs for the hills when I lift the camera. Here's a crappy pic of him. :)

Picked it up at a shop called Fish Gallery in Winnipeg. This fish apparently came through a broker in Toronto. That's all I know. :)

Sorry, no he doesn't. He only hd the one. He did bring in 2 Merlion xb from dreamfish (I think) and Albert aka carcrazy already took one of those.

Yew Wing (Owner of Fish Gallery) only brings in a limited amount of aros at one time. Winnipeg is a fairly small market for asian aros.

Very nice 24k XB with a lot of potential, I like the body shape, big tail and finnage.

You should keep the dark sand to prevent drop eye. From 6-10" the chance to have a drop eye still big. The WTT will help him to develop his shine faster, I will keep the white back ground until 10" before changing to black or blue. Change to the white back ground and take new pictures you will see what I mean !

Cheers .

I already removed the sand. What's the rationale for dark substrate preventing drop eye?
 
I have my Merlion Premium xb from the Dream Fish farm in a planted tank. I hope she doesn't get any drop eye. Hopefully the dither fish will keep her attention more towards the middle of the tank. And I am feeding her market shrimp which is less fatty than superworms (which she gets as a treat).
