I got him almost 2 years ago and he was petco so he was more like 2 and a half or3, and he lost his color, and sunk to the bottom and passed peacefully under his favorite decoration today. He will be greatly missed :'( but I will carry on his legacy because he opened up space for a new rescue who has been in a waiting jar to come have a spot in the divided 2 gallon, and he has had that spot far too long :)
