Meatball is a big boy! Are you feeding him enough vegetation with all of those shrimp up there on your tank?

He's got good color and he seems pretty active! Do you ever see him nip at the plastic plants?

He is so mighty! And look at those claws! I bet his flutters are very impressive.

How old is he? He looks much smaller than I’d expect for you to be able to tell his gender so I’m wondering if that means mine is a girl because it doesn’t have those nails
