Had another successful force feeding today, no stress at all showing. He was moved into a 37 gallon hospital tank today by himself, treated the tank with something different recommended by my LFS. I put 7 rosies in there exactly, no more force feedings for a few days, I want to see if he can find them himself with just his sense, and absolutely no light in the tank. He is about 5", so he should be okay in there without the stress of the others. The other orino is eating, and chasing the hell out of the tems, pinimas, and peru monos. I'll keep everyone updated !!!
 
nice man that is good to hear. Im sure he will be good. He been blind all his life do you know?
 
sounds like its going well.. keep the updates comming.
 
yeah he is blind in both due to fighting with pikes in an indoor pond, and being that the previous owner could not see what was wrong with him, this went untreated for about a month.
