A superb looking fish Rob. The square'ness of it's snout looks interesting, perhaps with the decent amount of odontodes it's a male?

Hi Matt, the females max out at 11-12" have a more triangular head shape and very little growth on the fins, my other L14s do show a fair difference

Hummm.... you might be waiting a long time for a breeding log lol :) If you dont try though you never know.

Ive cap`d the clay pipe this afternoon and covered it in silicone and sand tonight so all being well i will add it in the next few days once i cannot smell the fumes. wish id of worn gloves though as i spread the silicone round the pipe, its dam hard to get off! :(

Yeah he is feeding well, been eating muscles and prawns the last day or two, might try some veg as well, he isnt the only large L14 in there the others just hide theres also a 11" and a 7" L14 as well as a L600, there will just be L14s soon though and a atempt to breed will follow :)

Thanks Kingfisher
