Royal Gamma


This guy was introduced on 1/8/06 to the tank. It is huge! One of the biggest I have seen. It has an appetite and it is very passive and somewhat timid. It is a very colorful fish with a huge mouth. It has done very well in the tank. For a while, it looked sick with ick (white spots due to parasites). However, it came back strong and it is one of the leaders of the tank.
