when first got the fish it was really beat up and stuck behind the filter, so i got her for free.
But it is one aggresive feeder and eat until it can not swallow anymore and then carry around food untill it can be swallowed
I think it could be a younger male. As far as it looking thin or distorted it's probably just due to proximity and being taken with a phone. I could make all kinds of weird pics with my Samsung.
