Hey Nepen, After getting an update from TM about her new fish it got me to thinking about yours.
How is he doing? Any new pictures to share with us?

New fish for me!

- Start date
Thanks for asking!
He is a terror in the tank lol. He got nipped once by the crayfish, just at the edge of his tail, which is not growing back nicely and no more incident
When he first arrived he lost a bunch of scale, all came back nicely but the new scales are all white (he's yellowish gold) so I hope the color comes back soon.
I just put a female in there with him (my old one from the pond, she was chased in the spawning frenzy and was in a bad shape) and they first day he chased her around so I put him in a floating plant pot for a night lol... then after I let him out he's a good boy and they are now friends and hang out together. He's a lot bigger than her and slower too.
My tank is full of algae so I dont know if I can take pic right now. We are moving next week (cross fingers!) so when I get to move my tank i'll clean it, then i'll take pictures!
I decide that I'll keep him in the tank for a while. I wont be able to build my pond right away so my other fish will be at the old house until then...

Sure, I'm always curious and enjoy stores about new fish friends 
Glad to hear he wasn't injured too badly by the crayfish, I was worried about that.....
I'm not quite sure that when a fish loses scales that they come back the same color. But it would be interesting to know if they do, please let me know.
It's good that you removed your female from the pond since she was getting beat up during the spawning. Things can get really rough.
No problem on waiting for pics. Get your stuff moved and once your settled you can update with pictures.
Good luck on the move, I hope all goes well.

That's a beauty!!!
my moving date got push back a bit. The granite for the island got messed up so no granite = no plumbing = no inspection = no electrician = no final inspection = wasting time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
at least may be i'll have time to dig the pond before we move

Oh man, That stinks but like you said maybe you can get the pond dug while your waiting
