behold the great a powerful Smaug
For those that have been here at ac for awhile you will have seen this guy before. I myself have not seen his brilliant bod in its entirety for almost a year or more. Why he was out this morning with the lights on only he knows. Lucky for us that he was cause I got a picture of the Great Smaug in the flesh with my new cell cam.

That's like the catfish in my 55g. The only time I ever saw him was when the lights were off and he was hiding in the fake driftwood. Is that his/her max size or will he/she get bigger?
EDIT: Thanks for asking that question Ellen, I wanted to know also
