So I don't usually buy unhealthy fish when shopping for them. I have always picked out the healthy ones and bought them. But today I went to the pet store to get myself a new algae eater, since its been awhile that I haven't had one. And this pet store keeps all their algae eaters in one tank, meaning that there are about 50 algae eaters all together in a 15 gallon. They always look so skinny and unhealthy, I mean how do they expect the algae eaters to get food when there are 50 in there.

So I wanted to get one that was really healthy, but the pet store employee couldn't catch it in amongst the rest, so she caught any random one and put it in the bag, it was a very skinny, small algae eater and his fins were all nipped and slightly shreded. I was going to say no but then I thought you know sick fish usually always heal in my tank, so I bought him in the hopes that maybe I could save his little life. So meet Hugs:
