Kelberi Question

[bobVillanueva]

Finally got this kelberi out of the 3k tank. He was almost left for dead because i didn't believe i'll be able to catch him in a 10 foot long, and almost 4 foot deep with intertwined drift woods

A few weeks ago, i noticed he had these weird dark-ish bands on his sides. I've never experienced this on my other kelbs. Any ideas why?

My guess is stress marks (he's only around 3-4" and was with around 11 8-12" bass in the other tank)

Thanks guys!

Not sure which of those is the fish in question but their bars look normal to me.The kelberi in the front does look to be displaying stress banding.

He is stressed out. Let him settle and get him some food.
Good save!

Thanks guys he's now with the orinos, and the stress marks have been greatly reduced
