Thank you. At what size do they start taking in that pattern and coloration?
his fins are turning blue and he's getting pearling between his ocellated blotches I'd say at 12-14" is when they start to really pop

I've struggled with patience of smaller ones lol I try and feed them as much as they will eat about 2-3x a day then I'll do 25% waterchanges every other day keeping the tank at 86-88 trying to grow them fast to about 7-8" then I'll just feed twice a day in temps 82-84
