So I went to a fish store earlier to browse their current stock. I came across this monster for sale; around $400 to be exact. The owner had it for two years before returning it to the store he bought it from. I figured, since I've been off of MFK for a while, this would kick off my return!

+1Welcome back!
Thanks! I think I just kind of ignored the tab for a while, but I'm happy to be back!Welcome back!
Yeah, he was. One of the biggest fish I've seen for sale at a fish store. However, there were two feeder goldfish swimming around him peacefully; he was probably saving them for later. I'll keep you guys posted if I see him again; kind of like an "update on a fish I don't have" type thing.Wow he looks like a beast
So is he not yours then?Thanks! I think I just kind of ignored the tab for a while, but I'm happy to be back!

Unfortunately NOT...I'm running a 60g long. Even keeping him by himself would be a stretch! Datnoids are definitely on my bucket list, though...So is he not yours then?
I didn't even notice the cloudiness in his eyes before you mentioned that! Well, he WAS returned to the store from an owner who had him for two years; who knows what the owner did! I heard he was fed well, but I have no idea about tank conditions and such. He looked pretty healthy to me when I saw him; except for a few scratches on his side, probably from scraping against rocks, he looked okay. It was a really stunning fish to see in person. The pictures don't do him justice.He looks sick, the cloudyness in his eyes makes me expect poor diet or water conditions, likely from being fed goldfish a lot.
