umm i got a TSN too . 1.5 inch. n yh the redness is der. at first it startled me too . but i realized it might be the gills. hes currently in my 7 Gallons. The Gars takin up the 15 G. step dad said hed get me a 6Ft tank. so im guess 200 Gallons. i feel sorry for the tsn . i know he wont like in der. hes in with a common pleco , a molly , a blue zebra n a dwarf gourami. the thing is i felt sorry for him in the lfs too. he was all alone . in a packed tank like a 4 Gal with Pictus n butterfish or sumfin. neways i tot i did a gd thing. lets pray he gest the 6ft soon. neways he wont eat wen i giv him anchovies with my hand. so i jus kept it on the gravel , then in the mornin. voila gone. n hes got a nice tummy. as hbluehunter said he was damn skinny.
