Got this watermelon frag around the end of Sept. Notice the frag on the disc. This is not a frag plug but is the larger frag disk that are sold.

This pic was taken on Sept. 28th 2007 -

You can see at first there was only really one good defined eye. Now there is 4 with looks like a 5th starting.
 
Been keeping it in the bottom corner on the sand from day one. I was scared to death of burning it up. Since moving it to the new tank and the new lights it seems to be coloring up even better.

Thanks.
 
Well I have shot some food around it maybe 5-10 times since I have had it but I have really never seen it feed.
 
Looks great Rev! Just about ready to cut an eye and send it to me. :)


BTW... I'm not joking! ;)
