Another Thank You To Aquanero

[Dr_Shakalu]

Hi everyone, I had a problem with 3 of my fish being sick from 3 different tanks all at once. 2 of my fish healed very quickly but my big flowerhorn got his second case of ducklips. Anyways, the first time he got it, I used Metro and Maracyn. He healed up nicely and in a short amount of time. The second time he got it, he was still alive after about 5 days but he still had ducklips. When I posted my problem, Aquanero had me switch the Maracyn and use Triple Sulfa and Metro. About 3 days after the new medication, he started looking better. However, when I got home after work, I saw that his top lip was just hanging there going in and out of his mouth. I was going to cut it off but I decided to wait and not stress him or have him get an infection. The next day, his top lip was gone. I couldn't find his lip so he probably ate it when it was going in and out of his mouth. A couple of days later, he looked healthy and was mean enough to jump up and bite my pendant around my neck. I put him back into his tank. Now he looks evil with the top teeth showing like fangs (just in time for Halloween). Now I wonder could he still get ducklips with just one lip (just kidding)? I really want to thank Aquanero for taking time to help me save my fish.

Glad to see you got it all worked out. I, unfortunately, am no help when it comes to sickness and diseases.

That's okay. I'm sure you are helpful in other situations. Heck, the next time I have a problem, you might be helping me also, Ed.

It's good to see this worked out. The lipless look gives him charicture I think. You can call him snaggle tooth.

It doesn't look like his upper lip is gone because the area has healed. I was worried that he couldn't eat because zz's already have an under bite and now the under bite is even more noticeable. You can tell his upper lip is gone because when he comes to the surface to eat, almost his whole kok comes out of the water because he has to go higher to get the food on the surface.Yeah, it looks like I have an unique flowerhorn and when people ask about his teeth I will just say I bought him because he is a new hybrid with a flowerhorn crossed with a piranha and he looked deadly or has a snaggle tooth!
