Well, it finally happened. I'm pretty sure it was only yesterday I was telling someone how well it was working out..
I got out of the shower this evening just in time to see River grab the littlest widow, she grabbed it and shook it like a dog does a toy and by the time I had the net and a chair (I can't do anything with this tank without a chair, the top of the tank is above my eyes) the poor widow was dead
so I quickly scooped the remaining six out and put them back in the 5' with the dollars. I can't get Sir Elton out though, I'm hoping that him staying on the bottom and not being in the upper parts of the tank will persuade River to leave him be
Anyways... River is doing really well, growing nicely and getting more and more beautiful every day. Her fins are getting awesome trailers! They're comparable to Horraces which I think is impressive, I'm not sure how common it is for female GT's to have long trailers on their fins but hers are bloody beautiful!
I guestimate she'd be a little under 5", she hasn't put on much body length, just getting thicker and taller. Still doesn't have the tall body I was hoping for though...
She's hard to photograph because she's so sociable and tries talking to me when I'm trying to take pics of her, but I got a good one before my shower that I thought I'd share.
My photography skills aren't the best and I only have my crappy phone camera but here's a pic of her from earlier tonight (yes she's pooping, but the pic is clear so it'll do):
