A few days ago I went to my lfs and they had this badly injured Festae for $60. The guy said it was in a bucket when he took it in and didn't notice. :screwy: I told him it cost too much and left.

Today I went back and told the manager it was probably going to die but I have a $20 bill in my pocket I'd trade him for. He accepted and I now have a 7-8"TL Festae that's hurt so bad, I can see her meat.

Here's a few shots. Do yall think she's going to heal?
Wish us luck for a full recovery.

:iagree:

MELAFIX works wonders!

I had a 5 inch festae and a 6 inch jag that looked just as bad if not worse from a mean *** red devil. I put them in a 30 gallon quarantine tank w/divider, added 1 1/2 tablespoons of melafix a day (didnt use any salt), ran only a sponge (no carbon) in the HOB filter and within a week they looked almost completely healed...and by 2 weeks they both looked like it had never happened.

Good Luck!
 
good luck man! keep us updated!
