The faint stress bars are nothing to worry about. He is just terrified of the camera. He goes back to normal when I take the camera away.
Yes normally I would have upgraded to a 75 by now. But I have other plans for the 75. Will be rehoming this guy soon. With frequent water changes and good filtration he is still doing great in the 29. Honestly he still has plenty of room. If he was 7-8 inches with the the added height and girth I would be really pushing it but yeah I do plan on rehoming him.Wow is he still on the 29 gallon
