Hot damn he's growing fast!

Looks good, Al. :)
Thanks man!!! Does Robert have the same kind of kink in the Dorsal that Max had? Things been like that since the lil bugger arrived. :( I hate it.

Yeah same thing. Doesn't look quite as bad as Max, though. Max's fin did get worse overtime.

Would you like me to change the title of this to reflect a growout thread?

Sure, makes sense.....

I don't think Roberts has gotten any worse, just always been there. Neither of the Frankys are perfect either, 1 doesn't even hardly have one right now. :( Seems like a Dorado thing....

Nice update. Do you have a putitora in the mix with the mahseers?
There's 3 Tor in there.... Not sure what they are though, nobody's confirmed. Thinking either Putitora or Mosal??? From Wes years back, the "buy em small grow em out see what they are" batch. They're in pics 1,3,4,5 and 6, with a few tails in the last.

Oh ok I see now. Nice grabs! I don't think they're mosal because they're too elongated and their snout is very pointy. I'm almost certain you have at least one putitora. The one in the 3rd pic with the golden dorado looks putitora and the 4th looks like a tor tor. You should have Wes confirm for you.
