Well, I've had him for 2 months on August 9th. Started off as a 2.5inch little brat, and now is an almost 5inch brat!
Heres loads of pics from tonight!

Looks like a fatty.

 

[silver dollars]

Nice pics! He has gotten big fast! Too bad they don't stay that small and innocent forever

 

[Katie217]

LOL
He IS a fatty! Thanks for the comments

Finally...yippee! *twirlysmi
He's looking good---I love that full-tank shot...really gives a better idea of how big he is as opposed to just looking at a bunch of closeups (I think I need to post some full-tank shots of Triton, lol).

How's his coloring without the flash?
To me it looks like he's a bit lighter than Triton, but Meaty's tank is obviously a lot brighter, and I know you used the flash for those pics...have any non-flash ones? What are the dimensions of the footprint on that tank---36" x 18"?

BV

 

[Cichlid-Man]

He has a good shape to him too, in terms of oscars.

 

[jessey]

aww yay he looks great katie!! so BIG!

....and was that just an oscar COMPLIMENT, from matt? *falls out of her chair...*

 

[Fuzz16]

[Helena21]

lol, whats that reallyyy small net for? i dont think meaty would fit in there

in most pics he has is mouth open, does he like just swim around with it open all the time?

I could try and get some pics of him without flash, but they ALWAYS come out blurry... The dimensions of the tank are 36" X 18"

Helena the little net was for when I gave Meaty some live mbuna feeders
And yeah, his mouth is pretty much open a little bit all the time...
Thanks for the comments!!!!

 

[Katie217]

I got some no-flash pictures from last night, note the blurrrrrrrr

 

[GeraldTheMouse]

Wow, Meaty is getting HUGE!

 

[Katie217]

yep!

 

[drake53]

hey those are some good pics. Is he in with 2 pictus?

 

[Katie217]

Yeah he is in with 2 pictus cats, I gotta get rid of them soon

 

[big54bob]

Yeah he is in with 2 pictus cats, I gotta get rid of them soon

Why you gonna ditch them?
Oh how big is meaty.

 

[Katie217]

Meaty is almost 5", and I gotta ditch them because Oscars are known to swallow them and get them lodged in their throats. I dont even want to risk that. PLUS, they poo alot.

 

[IDunnoWhy]

WOW, he's quite the monster! He's looking good, It's amazing how fast those guys grow

 

[Katie217]

Yeah its CRAZY!
When people would say "about 1" a month" in my head that didnt seem like much, but when you actually get to see the fish on a daily basis, its like WOW
