[murph145]

well when i first got him he was really small... anyways i didnt know i had to feed him a well balanced diet with greens and vitamin enriched meaty foods.... well he got fin erosion and lateral line.... the fin erosion was cured but he still has some scarring around his head from the lateral line.... ive given hima more balanced diet now to include meaty and greens.... so hes recovered but doesnt look 100%
i think the scars wont ever go all the way away...

 

[jayc]

K, thanks.
