Sorry I didn't see your comment sooner! It's been a hectic week of tests. I've had him for about a year. He was at a LFS by my parents house. He was around 3-4" and completely washed out. He was a dark grey color and was in a 20 gallon tank with a bunch of convicts hiding behind a sponge filter. I feed my fish every day between 3 to 5 pm. I alternate between frozen brine shrimp, medium cichlid gold pellets, tetramin tropical flakes, algae wafers broken in half, beefheart cubes and omega one freeze dried krill. I do 50-75% water changes every other week. Feel free to ask any other questions! Can you post a picture of your GT?
