When I got this Orino from my buddy, he had half a dorsal fin, all his other fins were tattered, his body was lacerated, and both eyes traumatized w/ 1 almost hanging out the socket and filled w/ blood. His much bigger kelberi had worked him over real good. As you can see these are resilient fish and w/ a little TLC he is looking groovy!

looking sweet bro..you have any before photos?

I will have to dig deep in my photo bucket, its not many. His eyes were so messed up I thought it would be best to keep bright light and flashes away from that tank. Just been using natural sunlight from fishroom w/ no light.
Lots of salt, vita chem and 50% water changes. He tried to eat a 7 inch pink chalceus a couple of weeks ago, had to throw chalceus in my 240.

Good looking Orino! If you hadn't told us I wouldn't have known this fish was ever in that bad of shape.
