Just to give an update and to show just how tough these suckers are. He just got done eating a thawed smelt! Some of his scales are white and he will probably lose those and grow new ones and his eye is very cloudy, probably going to go blind in that one eye, but he is already eating, can you believe that.

Fine now, Oh and Blue cross wont cover fish like a dependant
