So yeah, mine's got to be about 5 years old or more now. Doing fine, although he is missing some finnage from a weird disease he had quite a while ago. Never determined what the ailment was, but he had some brownish lines & spots & lost a good portion of his top fin & one lower fin is only a short stub. None of my other fish were afflicted. The brown lines appeared on his body & also seemed to be in the bones of the fins that deteriorated. He never slowed down or acted ill/lethargic thru the whole thing, kept eating well. Strange. Wounded warrior. I keep hoping the top fin will regenerate, but if it does, looks like it will take a looong time. Adds character I guess, can't mistake him for another.
