My new rescue....

[demjor19]

Found this guy in the basement of an LFS in a 55 gallon tank...He had been there for 2 years. Sounded like they fed him well, but he couldnt even turn in that tank. He is 21" long and I have him in my 180 for now....its atleast better then what he was in. I swore I would never purchase a baby one, but would resuce one someday, so here he is. Let me know what you think.

^ lol my girlfriend for size reference....

Very rewarding fish to own. Make sure he doesn't injure himself on that driftwood. Good luck with him.

A waste of tank space.

A waste of tank space.

i guess i did ask what people thought...so i'll let it go.

i'll tell you one thing though...this fish was in the tank for about only 3 hours now and i have never seen a fish w/ more personality. it's more like a cat or dog.
