Marine Velvet horribleness

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.

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

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.

Wow Laurie it has been really rough for you, if nothing else it has made me reconsider
having a q.t. tank. I agree with you on the pita thinking as I to have lost many fish in
q.t. that may have made it otherwise. I for one am glad you posted and am pleased
that you did not get the flack some have on here....it is been an eyeopener for a few
people I am sure. And you probably saved a lot of people this horrible experience.
Thank you for sharing with us and we can all learn to do better. Hoping everyone left
recouvers quickly. I know when I lost a bunch of fish once, I felt like throwing in the
towel I was so upset. It will just take time.....thinking of you!!! It will get better!

I totally agree, as long as you can keep him eating and he's fairly active, he will heal up just fine
