    I should have waited another couple of weeks to put another fish in the tank but I couldn't resist him when I saw him and didn't think he would last the day much less another week.

    Not "too much" at all for a beauty like that. Well worth the $$$.

    I have a snowflake if you ever feel like making a trade. ::)

    A trophy fish for sure. Good job!!!


    Enjoy!

    (send us more pics when you get them...)
