Very cute little guy. Looks like he is going to have a big fan tail. But wrong forum section my friend.

Great looking fish!
Hes still a little small to tell the head shape also its hard to tell shine from the colored lights you're using... maybe take pics with normal white light?

At 4" its hard to tell if it will have spoon or bullet. It can go either way at this moment. More time will tell.

thanks guys....I'm trying to put some size on him, thinking of getting some Rays, right now i'm afraid that my aro might be a snack for a ray so I'm feeding him....here are a couple more pics I took:

I keep my Jardini with two rays of about the same size (maybe a little bigger) as well since he was 6" for the past month, no problems . The tank is 31" high, 34" deep.

thanks for the response.....right now he's in a 75 gallon tank which is 21" high, I'm looking into getting a 422 this summer and a 622 when I get my house hopefully within a year might be two(who knows)....I think the best way to do this is to get the 422 first get the aro to be settled then get the rays....I think by this summer my aro would atleast be at 10".....
