Shipping from him is horrendous, for me. it's nearly 100$ for shipping + boxes + whatever else he charges for. I try to stick to the florida vendors as it's usually only about 20$ for shipping and usually next day.

Thanks for the looking out though; preciate it.

Yeah seriously.. Why bother with Rapp$$$ if your in Florida..?

If it were me I'd try to return him to the store (assuming your fish store is cool) and see what else you could find (if you really don't want this type of saum.) You could always get something different or a can of food or something. If it were me I'd personally keep that fish. He looks pretty nice so far.

I'm definitely gonna keep him at this point. He's a cool little guy, just disappointed he wasn't what I thought he was :) He stresses out with someone in the room but I snuck in on him the other night after I fed hi and he was colored up real nice
 
Me thinks your male gold saum is a female...

This is my girl and she is a killer, she has killed 2 other GT's (male) descaled and beat the snot out of a Midas that i quickly rehomed to a friends tank.

Looks quite identical to your GT! What are the distinguishing factors of the male and female GT? I hadn't bothered to look at what sex they were as I didn't care. They all look gorgeous, the silvers more so ;)

Whatever it is, is eating good. Refuses to eat while I am int he room, but as soon as I go out and check through the cracked door, you can see it flaunting around all over the place and picking up the pellets and shooting them around the tank before finally deciding to swallow it.

To my understanding the males get a small Nuchal and the dorsal/anal fin get long trailers. I think more intense orange color on the edges too.

You would try to return it and keep it at the same time; how do you go about doing that do have jedi powers so you can play a mind trick on the lfs?
