I was at petco getting some supplies today and saw this little man in a cup with completely cloudy water in his cup. He swam right up to the front when he saw me and swam in excited circles when I picked up his cup.
I only set up this 6.8 gallon shallow about a week ago, but I don’t think he would’ve lasted another day in there so I took him home with me after they agreed to surrender him.
He is curious and exploring and I fed him a few pellets, but he is definitely tired. He has a slight curvature in his spine, probably from being in that tiny cup. He is a dragon scale with beautiful blue eyes. He doesn’t have a name yet but I am open to suggestions!!

Wow, that’s the biggest 6.8 gallon tank I’ve ever seen lol. But name wise I think King Boo would work perfect. Because if he has a short life span I’d hope you’d treat him like a king so I think King Boo would fit him perfectly.
Congrats on your new guy!
Just an FYI, if the spine is crooked, it’s often a sign of constipation or swim bladder.
