Posted by @greatwhiteThis fish appears to be a FULL grown adult. All the lines are complete with no forking or breaks. compare to the others shown here, although the pics are not fantastic they all represent a slightly different age. with a few more pictures we should be able to tell just how old they are, so please keep adding.
