Very nice beast, love the coloration. Definently needs some TLC for those marks, but he looks just fine and healthy otherwise. Nice save. The Midas in my Avatar was a save aswell. If I didn't save him, the LFS owner wanted to chop him up and use him for Pike food. What a waste that would have been.
Can you get some Vids up? Would love to see this guy in action.
It is harder to tell just from pictures and I'am by no way a expert but the beaky point right above the lip and the second to the last photo looks more RDish.
I laughed when you said 20 something, haha.
The HITH scars looks more like a gun shot wound.
Anyway, beautiful fish, it's a shame he wasn't taken better care of before you got him.
