He was or rather looked perfectly healthy when I bought him, although the shop keeper did 'manhandle' him into the bag from the net
He lost a fraction of colour whilst on the journey home, and regained that after about an hour in the tank
He ate very well initially
Im using a Rekord 60 tank, and I have been a bit wary on the temp conditions, as they have fluctuated a little, and the thermostat doesnt appear to be on that much, and the water always felt a little colder than my other tanks
its currently running about 79 degrees, and tbh I have felt that the heater is a little underpowered as I belive it is only 50watt's but rarely seems to come on, despite altering the settings several times, the temp has rarely changed
I wasnt told anything about water temp, quality etc when I purchased him, other than told to keep him seperate from other fish, as he will eat them
Im sure I read the ideal environment for him when I got home, but I will have to try and dig it out again if I can, really as a guide, as it is pretty much all too late now
