Perch in his recovery tank

[rallysman]

He's a bit thin and definitely beat up. He was being out competed for food (which is tough to believe), but we'll fatten him up in no time.

For size reference, the tank is a 110tall. He actually fills it up a bit more than it appears in the first photo.

Sweet fish! Glad you where able to save him in time, shure he will be back into health in no time.

I found it hard to believe, but the silver arowana did it. He had been eating, but apparently not enough. He'll be stuffed with all sorts of things now lol.
