I always said if I found one with a nuchal hump I'd have to buy him.. This guys about 6". First one I've ever seen for sale with a nuchal hump. He is beat up but they only wanted $15 for him. I ended up getting him and a flowerhorn they wanted $10 for $20 all together.

he's old but he will heal up.
 
He isn't pretty, but he sure is impressive, i hate all these torn fins and scars, i am raising my 4" male to be flawless. But good luck with him mate and im sure that he will heal soon.

Yeah most of the convicts I've raised have been flawless I just can't get them over 4". I can get one from egg to 3" in 6 months but then it seems like they just stop growing or it's so slow that I don't notice it. This one was probably in some guys tank for 5 years and one day just decided to trade him in.
 
He's really nice. He will get better, but the fins may not all grow back. Here is my old guy who took a beating from my oscar. It has been years since they have been separated and the fins haven't gotten better. I even had him in a hospital tank and used melafix. This one is 6'' too.

Mine didn't :( Now if our fish were younger, I think they would be better. Your con has nice color though.
