He was dying. He had been on his back for 24 hours. I picked him up out of the fish tank and he could barely move. I dropped him in this fish tank in the pipes so that he could find some protection from the mollies.

And he bounced right back. He's still a little slow but he's making his way around the tank on all of his legs now. And he's able to give off enough of the threat display that the Molly's leave him alone.

I really need to go through and figure out all of the parameters of this tank.

Yeah it's the best I could get with the equipment I have. He's sitting in the very back of the tank right now in a very dark spot. I'll try to get better pictures of him later tonight.

I read the title in the "stupid sexy flanders" Simpsons voice

That is exactly how it's intended to be read 😃
