strangely I have NO IDEA what kind of fish it is. I figure based on the shape of the body lack of scales and presence of whiskers some sort of catfish. but most catfish are bottom dwellers and this one it not. and being a bit malfomred and with no info to go on searching for his type is going to be a search indeed but one i have undertaken. and yeah he is getting more active as the day goes on too! so i have high hopes for him. once i see him eat i will be relaxed with him
Aww, poor little guy. Knowing me I definately would have rescued him as well, and I would have to use the same naming method I do for my birds, thusly naming him... hammerhead. If he seems comfortable enough there's no reason for them to have wanted to put him down to Davey Jones locker. Fortunately fate has smiled on his poor head and he's safe.
Fate smiled on him like you would not belive
First i never owned a tank big enough for someone like him. in July someone gave me two thirty gallon tanks and stand and a lot of equipstuff but i only put up one. the other i sorta set up but no water in it. then someone had to give up thier pleco because it got to big. so suddenly i needed to fill it and well plecos are not hard to care for and require little. so then antoher friend of mine wanted me to go to the pet store they worked at. which i had not been to yet and my weekends have been taken up til like mid november. so it looked like i was not going to get there at all. well my friend who wanted to go to the store as well had a day off in the middle of the week. so we went. we got directions and it took us longer then it should have with little stops here and there. so we got there later than we were schedualed. so we got there about the same time the owner of the fish got there. and then he was there as long as we were and i had been curious about the cooler he was carring and i though maybe he purchased it there and i jst wanted to see. well and this is the fun part. i had to use the bathroom and when i came out Kyr and Mae-Lin had disappeared so i went looking for them and saw the cooloer open and looked in and overheadr that they needed to get rid of it and the lady was worried that it may not be bought and they could not spare a lot of tank space for it. she would try to find a home for it but because it was so deformed it would prolly get put down. then they noticed me and asked if i wanted it and i said YES! and luckily my friend Kyr had the bubbler in his car (an air pump for fishing pails) so he was sucured and i came home and we got him in the water and hooked up a new pump i had been given with an airstone someone gave me and WHAM he had a home. So as i like to say the gods started planning his rescue monthes ago! the timing of everything was really well timed i say
