i added him to my cold water tank yesterday.
he is pretty cool, for some reason he prefers to swim small circles at one end of the tank, then small circles on the other end. i figured he would circle the entire tank ... lol ...

anyhow, i am glad that i could save him from the 78 degree water at the LFS!

whats a growth rate on one of these guys ??
 
Nice, do you have him eating already? If so what are you feeding?
 
actually, i don't ...
they said they hadn't gotten him to eat at the LFS (in 3 days)
i have tried bloodworm, and plankton ... i also have some brine shrimp i am going to try later. if not i am not sure what i will try...

also, i need to remove some top cover so he can get a better shot at it ... the whole top is currently covered in small plants so my pickerel can hide

any advice would be appreciated. the LFS said they haven't had issues in the past with them. he just doesn't seem to be overly concerned with eating yet? i have seen him open his mouth maybe once in 24 hours?
 
cool.. but.. nah, just cool :D (very constructive comment but someones gotta do it)
 
Try the brine or even black worms if you can get them..
 
They had some at a lfs here. They got theirs on live Brine Shrimp. They sold all 12 of theirs in less than a week! I didn't even know how much they were, but I think someone else said that their lfs were selling them for $70
 
very cool, awesome find
