He's a great little fish.
We held off naming him because I wasn't sure how long he was going to last: based on everything I had read about them (after I bought him
).
It was a lot of work to get him eating frozen. But he does eat frozen now. I started off by injecting his food into the sand in my 10 gallon, and now he'll pluck mysis out of the water column (as long as it is only floating an inch or two off the sandbed). I'm keeping an eye on his physique. I'm not injecting anything for him right now, as my sandbed in this tank is crawling with pods and I want him to eat them. He is, and my population of pod eating flatworms has all but disappeared (I don't actually see any, anymore).
He spent around six weeks in the hospital tank, and he's been through a two week PraziPro and a four week Paraguard treatment (all of the fish in the system have).
I think we can name him now.
