Picked this guy up last night when I went to buy a light from someone off of craigslist, along with a couple of other fish. I know he looks like crap, there were some battles last night when this guy thought he could take on my male nic and his gf. Everything seems to be sorted out now, so I have no doubt he'll heal quickly. Plus, the tank he came from was pretty stinky, I don't think he was living in the cleanest of water.
Do y'all think he's severely stunted? Any chance with great water conditions he can reach his potential? He's 6-7" from snout to caudal peduncle. For comparison, I'll post my juvie chocolate that I've had since Nov/Dec (got him at 1", he's now 4"+).
