Ok, here he is, fins out and all.

Well he is being a bit camera shy right now, but as soon as I get one I will post it up here.

Thought I would come back and give an update. I have been doing 100% water changes everyday with the dechlorinator, and he is doing GREAT!!! He is swimming around just fine, eating and doing everything he should be doing. Thanks for all the help yall, i'm so happy hes ok.
