Understand that the fish is on the short side and maitaining the proportion of such fish is very difficult. So true enuf ... it does look like a sotong

But when I post the pic ... I was ready for both good and bad comments ... so let's just discuss abt the fish openly on its plus and minus.

Dun worry ... no flaming will start

Peduncle too short for a young fish.

Ok ... Noted and thanks for sharing

So for young fish selection ... what should be the areas to look for? If the gap is obvious at young age ... will it cover up eventually?

What ratio is preferrred? 1:2:1 or 1:2.5:1 etc?

I remember reading a few articles that mentioned it is best to have little or almost no gap at all...

[samuelphan]

Yep ... I tend to agree
