thanks :thumbs:
 
It is a nimbochromis venustus, one of the more predatary utakas from lake mbuna, it tends to be agresive as far as haps but should not be kept with agresive mbuna, or small fish. It will grow almost ten inches and require a tank at least 100 gallons

Best to get him back on flakes feeders are a good supplement but not an adequate food don't be afraid to fast him for a few days so he starts eating five maximum
