What are the average sizes of congi in the tank?

25 inches thereabouts, some going beyond 30. Quite a sight to behold

Damn, i wish they have a showcase like that here.

Still a wee lad, but it’s bulked up a little and has become so much less jumpy (pics about 1.5 months on)

Great patterns and nice headshape. Future stunner right there !

Some of other Congicus I used to have besides Godzilla(25") and the dark 24" Congicus. These were before 2014.

@Hao this is a beast congi in every aspect man.. great stripes and the patterns on its head. The latter feature is rare-ish even among WC congis. Awesome. Did this piece cost you much?
Edit: Referring to the congi in pics 2 and 5.

They all had great potential. I chose them to have different pattern/headshape. They all developed the nice head markings though. My friend imported about 100 pieces. I got there first and handpicked out about 9 pieces. I think I paid 150 usd per piece or less. It's been awhile. Those were the congi days

Great eye for congis, and super lucky to get first pick. Do you still happen to own those congis?

No. Those were my old collection. I left the hobby in 2014 or so. Came back some time in 2016/2017.

I forgot if I ever posted these photos but Solomon David took these photos of Ricky's (infblue)monster Congicus before it went to the public aquarium. Quality is poor. Sorry about that. Congicus probably around 30".
