And as a couple side notes yes, he is accepting food. I figured it would be safe to feed him some feeder fish since I know he has never had any in his life. He ate 4 even before I moved him to his tank. They mentioned they fed him pretty well, and im inclined to believe it. Crickets, superworms (which im not fond of as a food item) and occasional pinkies.
They also said they got him in mid July and he was maybe toonie sized at that point. For all you non canucks a toonie is maybe 1.5 times a quarter. So I believe that means a decent growth rate.
