I went to my lfs today and they had just got some new stock in. They had about 10 polys of different species, mostly 4"-6" in size. I picked up a 4" something or another that I'll need ID'd later. Right now I want to get to the good stuff. When I saw this fish, I couldn't resist getting him...he's so awesome. They didn't have him labeled yet but the guy said he was a wild caught Weeksi. He's about 13" long and nice and thick. I haven't tried to feed him yet but I hope I can get him eating. For now, he's being isolated for a little while. Is he really a Weeksi?

agreed, it is a weeksii
 
It looks very much like a weeksii. If you have some side shots will be good for ID purposes.
 
Thanks everyone. I'll try to get some side shots later. He's in a rubbermaid tub for now...can't take pics.

He has a fat head lol.
