yes he was 4 yrs old. I unfortunately had to give him up and is now in a large display tank. I've worked doing animal rescue and I couldn't bear him in the tank anymore I had him for a year out of his 4 years and was a beautiful fish. I let him go sniff sob cry.... He had personlaity and I swear one night he communicated get me the f@*k out of hear, Jesus lady lol lol But seriously I couldn't take it. I took him without understandin his needs and that was shitty of me, stupid if anything

When I moved him here I thought I was going to lose him he was listing really bad to one side and looked pale! But he has come around very well, I have noticed however he likes to beat the shit out of the heater with his head, is there anything I can do about that or to calm that behaviour down??

Ya he looks good. I would get rid of all of those feeder fish and not feed him anymore of those. Feeder fish carry many diseases and are not a good diet at all. Feed him a good cichlid pellet twice a day and as a snack give him live crickets or worms. You can also buy frozen food/ freeze dried food for him. He will prob just hand out in the corner of the tank for a day because the move prob scared him. Don't worry that is norm. After a couple days he will be active.

Thankyou for posting and I appreciate the info. Those are to be the last feeder fish he will ever get!! The last thing I want for him is to get sick. I will get him some crickets instead...How old do u think he is???

[atthegoodolehockeyga]

he is currently in a 33 gallon tank, he's about 6 inchs or so. 55 gallons I see will be a better environment for him. That is allI know and that he is a insectovor, insects taking up 60% of his diet is that correct. He has feeder gold fish and cichlid pellets daily is there something I am missing in his diet???

After being in a tank that size for 4 years, surely giving him up didn't do much for his quality of life. Once the damage is done to that extent, there's little hope for recovery.

You cant tell the age of a fish unless you have a breeding log.

This doesn't mean hole in the head it's the fish sensory glands. They can sense changes in pressure it's like a sixth sense
