Looks like about 7" or so

It looks a lot bigger than that sitting in the tub. A true monster. Congrats.

I'm drip acclimating now

drip acclimating a bowfin? just throw that thing in! it's a bowfin, you'd have more trouble killing it than keeping it alive and well.

The fish means a lot to me, and it's previous owner. I agree with you, but not taking any chances. It's in the tank now, and getting along well. I'll get pics when it gets settled in. I'll probably leave the flash photography until tomorrow.

its not that old, so its not too hardy. in fact, getting them to this point can be difficult as they often get internal parasites. but once he gets a little bigger, it should be very hardy, he is a prehistoric monster!
