After recent case of my b.fila, I'd say he and his new homie doing much better with my better water care. Eats like rtcs, have to seperate their meals every 2 days. Fast growth, 1-1.5" a month. All and all, my favourite fish.
But a few months back, I've read
thebiggerthebetter
and
vincentwugwg
have discussion about the difference between the Fila from suriname and the one from peru. As I observed, there's definitely difference between them in terms of head shape and color. Growth?
I got my Filas a month apart, different vendors and different shipment. Can these guys be different in terms where they are caught?
First Photo: The smaller one (right) at 9", have darker color, slender head and narrower mouth. The bigger one (left) at 10", has thicker head, broad mouth and lighter color.
