New RTC rescue

[doveandgrenade]

Just picked this little fella up last weekend. Been holding off on pics so he can settle. He's settling in good now and pounding back the massivore like its going out of style.

He is missing an eye from being attacked by 2 oscars when younger and it has gill curl on the same side as well. He's about 7-8". Here's some pics.

Came with three 5" silver dollars and a 5" red hook as well.

You have a great heart!
From all RTC lovers: THANK YOU!

Wow what a great person you are ... so sad these beautiful fish have to deal with that crap. My favorite fish as well
He will be a stunner!

Thanks. He's pretty active now which is nice. The first few days he'd just sit their wagging his tail and not move from the corner. I'm working on getting a bigger tank/pond dedicated to my catfish.
Also forgot to mention that he has a noticeable dent on the side of his head where the gill curl and missing eye is. It's looking better each day.

Very Nice!

Update.. in case anyone was wondering. LoL

Since I've had this RTC it's added over 2-3" in size and it's gill curl isn't as bad as well. Getting along well in the tank and stealing all the food. LoL

Here are some updated pics of the RTC I rescued. He's doing great now and he's all fat 'n happy. Finally starting to hit a growth spurt. Measures over 14" now.
