I really like his colors, and that tank setup looks pretty nice! How is his personality?

Wow! I agree.. his tank looks Great! Loui is a cutie, too.
Is that shredded aspen substrate? It looks really nice in that viv. I'm still trying to decide which substrate to go with.

I'm sold on carefresh. It doesn't look that exciting, but a thin layer kept even messy poop from making it to the bottom glass in Marley's aquarium, so I was pretty impressed with it.

Nice contrasting colours hes got there, I use half a tank of the shredded Aspen{for kipping } and the other half chipped Aspen, he seems to like burrowing in both, the fake plants look good aswell

If that's a camera phone, stick to using the phone for what it was intended.
I'd say he looks great but, well, from what CAN see he looks beautiful.

Definitely NOT a Northern.
Just comparing this pic of yours...
...with this picture from the Indonesian "Fact sheet" on this site,
...there's not really any question in my mind.

As my friend Queen would say,"You wrong fuh dat."
Hey wait my IJ is "native" to the midwest guess that means I have a Far Northern.
Also why is there an Eastern, Western, and Nothern but no Southern?
