    Here's a pic of the male and female on their first day in one of my tanks. They definitely need some more TLC though they are looking better even after just a couple days of being fed NLS and Mysis shrimp. The pics aren't that great being that they were super shy that day, though they are slowly coming out of it.

    Nope, they were a trade in at Ned's.
    Also to update, after a couple days of having them, the female slowly started to look worse. Lastnight when I got home from work she had died. The male on the other hand has been looking better and better every day. His belly is filling out and he comes to the front of the tank at feeding time. His missing scales between his dorsal fin face are filling back in as well. Strange how the better looking of the two died and the one that looked worse is coming back to a normal state. He must have been the stronger of the two.
