he's awesome looking..just got to treat him for fin rot and get him to eat..if he dont eat by tuesday/weds going to feed him threw a syringe to get him fattened up..
 
Great looking zully brah, but I would hold off force feeding AS A LAST RESORT. feed feeders, treat prazipro, try everything first before force feeding. She looks good for a week or so. But if you do decide force feeding make, MAKE SURE, the tube must pass the opening and closing part of inside of the mouth. You want to make the fish gag to open it up. And make sure there isn't any hook like barbs on the tune that will get caught in the fishes throat, which can sratch and/or cut it. Small amounts of food if you think she is starved. I found out that a sick fish, the belly can shrink to.

I hope she feeds off the bat and you don't have to force feed her. Good luck bro and keep us/me updated. Love your collection in bass.
