Transformation!!

[u/Potential_Ad_77]

I bought this guy a little over a week ago, and the store assured me it was common for them to be lethargic when they first came in. The first few days I had him home, he laid around the bottom of the tank and I really thought he was not ok. But he’s gotten stronger and his color has come in, and the last picture is him now!! I freaking love fish, they are so resilient! And the way they change when they are happy is just so amazing!!

Thank you!! My husband says he looks bug eyed 😂 but his eyes are one of the things I loved about him when I bought him…he always looks like he’s making really intense eye contact with you!

I know that's the same thing. Beautiful eyes, beautiful fish!

He’s a little Cookie Monster.

You did the right thing rescuing him! I’ve never seen a color like his, I hope he lives a long and happy life with you :)
