Read my signature to see how it is housed. It was bought for 10 gallon tank - before I knew better and just followed the advice from the LFS (not the one I frequent now). I have since, bought and set up a 55 gallon where he currently resides.

I missed your suggestion on counting his dorsal rays. I will do that when I feed the fish shortly. Thanks for that tip!
