Colorao

[Mentat]

Presenting my Super Red Shock from Thailand "Colorao." Got this guy as an inch long fry a couple years ago and is one of the 4 fish (3 cichlids and a Betta) I kept after stroke (had 12 before). He is currently around 12 in. plus tail and lives alone in a 65G tank due to aggressiveness. To clean tank I keep an eye on him and use long-handled tools. Splashes water (lots), wakes me up hitting the top, and smacks tank so hard the glass (tempered) sounds like it was breaking!

A baby fry just arrived from Thailand:



Growing and already stable on my tank:



Colors and kok (head) start to show:



Fading process ongoing:



And a recent video of Colorao!



Thanks for viewing and enjoy !

Thank's Jared and Sunshine! Colorao is a great pet and my favorite fish (don't let the other 3 know that) .
