My new rescues first meal!

Solaris:
Yeah, hes a curious little guy. It's like he almost didnt know what food was though which was sad!

Hannah: I would have paid full price either way too, but I figured maybe if I talk to the manager about the conditions and convinced him to give me a discount, it might make him feel like his employees need to take better care of the fish! i mean I know it probably wont be like that for long, but atleast they will probably all have their water changes tonight and last a little while longer.

He's very pretty! I can't wait to see how he looks all recovered! Please keep us updated with pictures (I love pictures, hahaha).

That is really sad how he didn't know what food was, but now he does >:] and soon I'll bet he'll be giving you the puppy dog eyes hoping for more. ^o^

I love pictures too so I'll try to keep you guys updated. Maybe take a pic every week or two to see how his marbling is going and how his tails growing out?

I can't wait for him to start giving me puppy eyes. None of my others pay any attention to me anymore lol they just know they are going to be fed anytime I slide the hood

He is beautiful! So glad you saved him!

[aemaki09]

SO I've had him for just barely over a week now, and he's changed so much.

His colors are so much more vibrant and he's so much more active and isn't as jumpy.

Just wanted to share some updated pics of my new boy. Quite the charmer :)

o.0 I can't believe that is the same fish! Remarkable!

[majesticstorm]

Wow! I can't believe he's the same fish! He's sure lucky you brought him home.

[carbonxxkidd]

Wow, he looks great! Good job! I can't wait til I have some good before/after shots of my rescue boy!

[aemaki09]

Thanks everybody! I'm so happy with the progress he is making! I was nearly positive that he would die from the horrible conditions he was in at Walmart but he's making an amazing turn around. He's just got some fun rot that needs to clear up, but since it's not getting any worse I'm just going to let it be, clean warm water is the best remedy.

Holy crow, look at that tail spread! What a beautiful find.
