Lol yes he does I didn't include the caudal fin but he is pretty tall.
Zoom in a bit and you will see many a fry waiting for food, already they have learned feeding times
Update on my guy from TUIC he’s coloring up nicely now that he’s settled in his new tank.
Misbarred tuic female:
This female is missing one bar, meanwhile I have a juvenile from the TUIC x bioaquatix batch who is missing two. Can't wait to see that one grow up.

Aaaand she got killed by the Florida male. I was very distraught because she had what I thought was a unique barring pattern... Until I looked into the main colony and saw that like half of her brother's kids have her pattern. So far what I'm seeing is, 40% with normal amounts of barring with slightly misbarred patterns (bars connected at the top or split into a Y), 50% with four bars and wackier misbarring (broken bars, slightly squiggly bars), and then 10% with unrecognizable patterns. There's some with V, S, or Z shaped barring, one missing like 2-3 bars altogether, tiger stripes, etc. I know they're supposed to have a total of like 7-8 bars (the first bar splits into the y on the forehead), but I exclude the first bar and the one on the peduncle when counting for pattern distinction, because these seem to be unaffected by misbar mutations, 90% of the time. Naturally, they have 5-6 straight bars between the Y and the peduncle bars, but every now and then they have 4, which gives a very different look, in my opinion. I'll be selling off the five barred fry to cut the population down, and then selling off some of the four bars the cut it down further. I'll keep the nicer individuals out of that group. I am definitely keeping the weird ones for myself.
