when i got him he was siting in the lfs for a few weeks at least. but i dont think his fins are damaged, ive seen damaged fins before, but his dont look like it. i know the pics dont do any good this fish is really beautiful. more so then the crowntails, i think. i wish he would flair up and let me take a pic, but hes shy and always hides. im feeding him frozen brine shrimp and live. pellets also, hikari ones. what do youall think about throwing in some baby guppy fry? maybe it will liven him up? plus i have hundreds so i can aford it.
