Well, you'll never know unfortunately but I'm sure he's more resilient than that. He looks excellent btw. Very similar looking to mine (also from tuic and also went several months w/o eating). The least valuable but most treasured fish in the house.

Wow, considering how he started out I'd never imagin he would turn out to be the orange beauty he is. I don't think his weard eating habits will decrease his max potential he looks well blanced and healthy.
He's turning into a real son-of-a-*****, which I like. I've got a tiger barb that's got half his side skin gone and another one that's missing half of his tail. He keeps trying to get them but they're just quick enough to (mostly) get away.
Yeah man, he looks great, I don't know what was with all these Midas from Rapps not eating like they should, it was strange. Jr not only surpased his parents in length, but in girth as well. I am sure Shamu will be hitting 12" in about 4-6months. 
That hump looks great and those trails are awsome. Congrats.

He's between 9.5" and 10" right now, I managed to measure him about a month ago. He's not that long, I hope he puts on a few more inches.
I like how his hump goes up instead of forward. Makes it look better in proportion to his body in my opinion.

He looks awesome. Great progression thread, look forward to following his development in the future.
