Marine Velvet horribleness

Thought I'd share a link to pictures of the Sohal. I'm using a link because I think these pictures might be to graphic to post directly. He doesn't seem to be in pain but he must be, as he looks like something from a horror movie.

The Sohal is still alive, swims around lots, and is eating well.

OMG!!! He looks like he should be in the Movie Resident Evil... the aquarium version. It looks like it hurts so bad... I hope he heals up soon. What a tough fish.

Wow that was fast, you posted before I could even edit to get the link to work properly. There is more then one pic. the pic.'s aren't the best as the QT tank is a bit cloudy and the glass is dirty, but obviously you get the idea, since I agree he does look like something from Resident Evil.

He is a very tough fish and we really hope he makes it.

Wow what a brutal experience I am sorry that you had to go through this! Thanks for sharing it with us though I for one am clearing a spot for a qt asap.

You're going to have to change his name to scarface

I have nothing better to do on a Saturday night... plus the Flames got their butts handed to them.

It has been brutal, I'm glad to hear you're going to set up a QT, maybe if I had of read something like this I would of set one up and not be going through what I am now. On the plus side everyone is still alive this morning.

You know what, I think I will. I actually never did think of a name for him so somehow Scarface seems appropriate given the circumstances.

Good grief, I've been reading this thread every day and well, there are just no words.

Its amazing what fish can survive, and what they don't survive. I hope this is the end of the horror for you.

Me too! Two whole days without death here's hoping. I do believe with some melifix after the copper treatment is over the Sohal will heal.
