8" salvini rescue

[HrHagel]

Today at the fish store, i went to buy a cute little tiger oscar, when a father and his son came in the store, asking if the store would take a fish off theire hands, and the store said they wouldn't cause they thought it might look sick, so i went over and had a look, and i said i'd take him

Anyway here he is. He's pretty faded, but i'm hoping he'll show some nice color once he settles in properly.

Apparently he had been living in a 20gallon for his entire life :/

Also he has a mean set of choppers! he just completely shred the bloodworm cubes lol

What size tank is he in now? The water does not look great. Your female is stunning.

He's in a 425liter.. i think that's like 80-100gallons..

In person the tank looks crystal clear, and the parameters are spot on.. i think what you're seeing in some pics are algae on the backside of the glass.

All my fish are perfectly healthy, so i really don't suspect any major issues going on inside the tank.

Thanks for the kind words everyone

That's the biggest Salvini I've ever seen! I've always liked Salvinis but they never keep up with the growth rate of my other guys in my tanks. Id buy him though for sure!
