New RES little guy.

The person I got him from(off Craigslist) had him in a 2g minibow/goldfish kit halfway full of gravel with about a half inch of water or so.
Little guy LOVES being hand fed! And he likes his chin being rubbed!

Barely. Im not sure if you've seen the orange 'Goldfish Starter Kit' at PetSmart, but he was in that. Maybe it was a 2.5g. The thing didnt even have a light.

He's cute! But if he had fingers, I think I know which one he'd be showing the camera... :lipssealedsmilie:

Must be a lot happier now, what size tank are you putting him into?

ahahahaha.
He's in a 20g long right now since he's teeny. Seems to be loving it. But once they both get bigger, I'm bribing my father to let me put up another big tank(75g, I think) or perhaps build a little pond for him in our yard outside. Jorge would do great in the Sacramento heat.

I did a TON of research before I got my Musk, but Jorge kinda came on a whim(couldn't resist after seeing the 2g tank part of the ad...) so now I'm catching up on diet etc.) If anyone has any insight, please let me know.

Here's a great care sheet on RES. Good luck with that little guy.
