Hey Dave i hope you know i was just joking about the comments!!!!HAHA!! You have some nice fish. My Pops had a 55 gallon with about 10 Auratas(spelling) and one day he got pissed because they all turned out to be male and changed their color. I laughed my a@@ off.I think it's cool what you did with your tank pictures changing very cool.

Hey Kylie howz it goin'?? Is all that food gone that you bought last week? 3 girls and a husband can eat alot. I know my boys can finish a box of cereal in one sitting and a gallon of milk. I can't keep enough milk in the house. I'm glad they don't like the silk milk i buy. Hope all is well,girlie!!

That's the problem with the whole Flowerhorn fad, you just don't know whether you have a "pure" Trimac and i think it totally rediculous. Tony, i personally wouldn't say this is Trimac, how do i put this without offending? He has that messy irresent spotting on the side, which i would assostiate with a low grade Fh and haven't seen in pure Trimac's. Like i said, no offense intended, mate.

Looking good Tony!Definitely looking more like Trimac now.How big is he and where did you say you got him?

None taken Marc, i have thought the same thing. After i got this guy and put him in the tank i was like sh@$ this is not a trimac, but as he's grown i kinda like his personality he's got some marbles ya know

Kylie are ya gonna get some???? or a dozen???? Hope ya pick some good ones.

That they do, typical big C/A temperament. I do agree that he looks Trimacish, but i wouldn't lay my wage on it. You have a nice collection.
