Hey Malcom,
I didn't mean to imply that you were power feeding, just put that thought out there as there are keepers that are in the habit of over feeding to maxmize size and weight for breeding within the second year of the animals life. I think that is over-kill, particularly given the species optimal growth rate and breeding physiology. The 3rd to 4th year of the blood/short-tails life is the ideal time for breeding.

I love that one dark male? with the melting stripe. Ouch! that one is incredible. You have to post which one is which, as far as male and female in the pic's.
