Thanks Sarah your definitely correct. I went and did an image search and that's exactly what he looked like at the store very colorful and had only 1 faint vertical bar, until I brought him home and stressed him out. I guess he can just have the 29 for awhile. Now its my goal to get him comfortable and color him up again. Ive heard of them just never kept one before as I would only keep a fish if it got at least 10 inches. Lately I am digging the smaller fish anyway. Thanks again!
