Nice, He will be well over twice that big by Valentines day.

Hes nice. Notice the bright orange colors? They aren't supposed to have that till they are in their late juvenile stage. The farms treat them with hormones to color them up so that they will be more attractive to buyers.

The colors fade before long. Unfortunately, people fall for it. Usually people with ten gallon tanks.
The danios are actually not dyed. They are the naturally fluorescent offspring of genetically modified fish. <-- Click for journals

So they're very beautiful Mutants lol...
I love danios btw...too bad they either died from ammonia poisoning or the betta got them...though the way my tank was before i started testing and syphoning, i'm betting it was ammonia poisoning.6 gal column- 1 powder blue dwarf gourami, 1 bronze cory, and one nerite snail, planted.

Most of the oscars at petshops look like that. Only way to get a natural looking one nowadays is to know someone who breeds them.
