Leiarius pictus photoshoot.

Post by Hudson Ensz »

Please tell me if this is the wrong place for this thread.
The leiarius pictus is about 4 and a half inches, and has grown about an inch in the last month.
Btw, he is going in a ten foot pond next month.

I feed him until his stomach is bulging, then the next day he is skin and bones... teenagers.

I think it is the one collected by Hudson a month or two ago. As I said before, "Hudson rocks!".

Thank you all!
The fins have grown much larger and the dorsal is tryly a sight to behold!
More pictures soon. he is going in the 35 gallon, 4 foot long tank later today.
I went back to the same place as i had caught him last week (http://passionate4pikes.wordpress.com/2 ... he-amazon/). Unfortunately I did not catch any cats but I did catch this.
