disgustipated Posted January 23, 2012 Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 for those who have asked, and the rest of you fishy folk, here are some size indicative pics of falcor, my BGK. i did maintenance on his tank today and he was in a tub for an hour or so. for comparison the tub is 52cm long by 35cm wide, each square on the base of the tub is 7cm by 7cm. he is approximately 45cm long and still growing! watch this space - i will add more pics of him in his tank very soon... video here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How old is he looks in good health aside from mine, i've never seen one more than about 15cm! i think he's around 3 years old but could be more like 4. i've had him for about a year. he has grown a good 7cm in the year i've had him! he is looking and acting much better now he is in a tank by himself! eats heeeeaps! shrimp, ox heart and occasionally pellets but only if i starve him..

Li@m Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 Nice Fish bro :thup: what were you trying to do with that blue ziggy lighter? :slfg: Size Comparison. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disgustipated Posted January 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 Size Comparison. ...obviously.. the classic bic lighter seems to be a rather universal indication of size, better than coins which vary and unfortunately my daughter didn't want me using her school ruler. still, not particularly well thought out, since after taking the vid i realised the bottom of the bin had a grid pattern. i often don't think things through before doing them, i just start doing things and stay in the moment. usually get things done, just takes longer than usual. anyway. he bit me pinky finger pretty hard while i was taking photos. dude has a HUGE mouth man. for the record i have no idea if "he's" male or female.
