It has been one week since I rescued a silver saum male from one of my lfs.

Im happy to say he has made a lot of improvement. He has filled out a lot, and all of his fins have healed very well, even the split pectoral fin that I didnt think would heal.

Because of his toughness, I have named him Magnum.

Check out the before and after, this is after one week with me:

Looks great!
Definetly has filled out quite a bit. Nice save and a nice specimen.

Thanks bro, his forehead is where you can see the most growth and his belly too.

I'll try for a better pic of his fins, he has yellow pectorals.

Awesome job cohazard, that Saum is clearly looking alot healthier, so you must be doing something right. Keep us posted with his progress...get well soon Magnum!! :) :)

Thank you Joe, he's still small so I really look forward to seeing him grow, hopefully he isn't stunted from the malnourishment.

looks nice...month or two will be interesting

Definitely, he still needs to fill in more, but he's got a great start.
