Here's some pics where you can see the color better. Don't worry about the eye too much, I posted it in the medicine/disease section.

Congrats on a great rescue. Best wishes that he makes a full recovery.

Looking much better already!

Thanks everyone! He is getting really aggressive (which is awesome!), but he still won't eat pellets. He tried to eat some small fish in the tank, but couldn't catch them. I fear he was only fed feeders.
We'll see how he does. (going in the 180 shortly too)

Nice save, I am getting an adult odo back to health. Mine was a lfs rescue kinda thing too. Was damaged so badly it was bleeding from dorsal hard fin rays and still has 2 open wounds. Raising temp, salt and pima/mela fix and lots of water changes like yourself. Good luck.

He's definitely a red mota. Males in the 9+ range usualy develop that Pattern. It Looks like Ruck Fules 11 incher.
