Blue eyes

[SinisterKisses]

Some current photos of Draco, my juvenile creamsicle midas. He (or possibly she, I'm starting to suspect) is about 4-4.5" now. Check out the pretty blue/lavender eyes!

I love this one and the first one, because you can just SEE the personality

creamsicle midas

Ah..."creamsicle"! Makes sense.
Does that mean I can stop referring to her as 'marbled cheese' now?

Nice pics...she looks friendly.

Thanks everyone Personally, I'm still holding out hope that Draco is a male, but I'm starting to suspect that "he" might actually be a female after all. As long as he (I'm gonna keep calling it "him" until I find out one way or the other, lol) keeps his markings and blue eyes as an adult, I'm happy

He does have an amazing personality, which is the other reason he's one of my favorites. Every other juvenile Midas I've kept in the past (which has been a few) has been very shy and timid at this size, until they reach about 7" or so. Not Draco, he's had personality from the start. He's truly going to be a monster as an adult!

Lol and yes, BV, no more "marbled cheese" comments

Beautiful fish you have there. I love those eyes, the only other animal I have seen eyes that color on was a puppy. Thanks for the fantastic pics.

S.K.If the fish is indeed a female ,you could call her "Miss Cuddles"or"' Draniqua''-D

 

[SinisterKisses]

Lol I could - but I'll likely just stick with Draco

Bout of a foot

Over a foot, if its a male like I hope. My current adult male is about 12" at last measure, likely bigger now, and the one who died was about 13". Between 12-16" is not unheard of for males, but females typically stay 10" or under.
