Yes, he is a wide bar but not a ST, just an IT. But I still like him!. I hope that he doesn't turn out to be a trouble maker as he is in the same tank as my dynamic red aro! I already had trouble with a killed RTG in a tank with my pbass, so I don't want a repeat!
No, just a 12" tinfoil barb that I picked up for $10. He was pretty beat up by a green aro (lost about 20% of his scales) but he has recovered just fine.
