I didnt buy him to save him. But eventually it was a good thing for him. He was in a aprox. 800 lt tank with 20-30 other americans. I dont know for how long he lived there. He has some potential yes, he has the strange reddish eyes, blue-green fins and sometimes his base colour and eyes look like a sajica. His fins are slowly growing back. Too bad I will have to separate with him in a couple of months.
