Okay I have a few pictures. He stayed like this for the first five minutes, wedged in the corner...
Now he's pacing the tank and getting settled in. Unfortunately I couldn't catch all of the con fry so a few are left in the tank. I'm a softie and don't like seeing them get eaten but I know they will be gone by tomorrow.
His wounds aren't really that bad but I've got Melafix and aquarium salt in the tank to jump-start the healing. The LFS owner said, "This guy was really handsome before he got in a fight." I wanted to say, "Yeah no kidding, he's in a tiny tank with a bunch of devils!!" but I decided to be nice.
And yep, when I went back to the LFS I realized there were not four but five RDs in the tank with him. They were about 5-8" in length. I couldn't believe my eyes.

Go get him!!! I have four 12 inch oscars, they are like my kids!!! My oscars live in 55 each - one with large albino frog, one with a 12 inch pleco, one with three tinfoils and a Jupari, and one with two tinfoils. They get along just fine!
