Found this guy today while picking up bloodworms at a lfs. The had his labeled as a palmas but when I questioned this two of the sales persons argued over what it was. I thought it look like a retro and after comparing it to a couple of pics online I think it is. What do you guys think?

Nice pickup and might want to start feeding him pellets while he is getting used to the tank. Although I haven't owned an retro so don't know if they will take them.

If you can can you get some full tank shots
 
This guy is really thin. Need to feed him really well:)
