very nice

i want it, ahaha how long did it take u for him to get that big

In the 20months I've had him, he's grown from about 1.5" to slightly over 8". He still has a few more inches to go before he maxes out.

mine right now is about 2 inches

Beautiful!

omg thats sweet

stunning!!!

Quality.

dont know anything about fish..ugly head but pretty colours....judy

this is one of the most finest fish, its a male venustus, and its just absolutly amazing! Its a nice fish all around, and theres no ugly about it!

Sorry it has taken me so long to post comment. He is still the best I've seen Kay Bee. Great job. How old is he?

Here's the repost David. I got him as a tiny juvie 2 years ago.

Wow! now I definetly want one!!!!!!!

Awesome finnage and colour!

Thanks. He has a flaw, though: a crooked tail, but still one of my favorites nonetheless.

Here it is Joel. I did notice that Kay Bee but his other features are the most impressive I have seen on a male Venustus.

yea your rite dave he is impressive actually its better than impressive it is awesome. holly mcfudgecracker thats fish is unreal

very nice .. is it crossed with anything that u know of(half bread?)

Matthew, no it's not crossed with anything, he's just displaying dominant colors (in which the characteristic venustus 'camouflage' pattern is completely morphed into a solid yellow-green sheen). With no rivals in the tank he's appears like this full time. When frightned or kept with more aggressive fish, mature males will revert to or retain the blotched scheme.
