    Thanks @ Guys..
    @top dog, I agree.. the gold cross back is stunning.

    Its about .. 21cm.. more or less.

    For now she is in my 2.2m tank which is fine for a while
    1.2m sump and 2 C2400 cannisters


    It takes pellets... has a good chew, spits some of it out and then waits for the lekker goodies which she quickly learnt to come get from my hand.. crickets, earthworms, meal worms.

    Took fish once or twice but not too keen at this stage


    Not sure how old it is.... was chipped in March if I remmember correctly so.. 8, 9 months?

    Not my type of fish but can surely appreciate it's beauty.

    21cm fish in a 2.2m tank must seem really small :)

    It wasnt my type of fish either.... for years I had arguments with Cesar haha from his teen years we argued about Aos and stingrays..... He was crazy
    He made his dream come true eventually when I couldnt "dictate" anymore!!!
    The last few years, living with them around just made me fall in love with them and the oppurtunity came up and I grabbed it..
    Their characters and personality are amazing....

    Haha yes, she looks small in that tank but its good for her and she should be fine there for a while as they dont grow as fast as the silver Aro

    Thanks..

    Might have missed it somewhere but what's the relationship between you and Cesar?

    There are actually 3 Aros
    Cesar has a Silver and a Red Tail Golden


    The opportunity arose for me to get the Super Red from Snoopy's breeders so i have this one now
