Or something like that.
everyday we are inundated with threads about Show Quality Fish in Show Quality tanks that will live out Their lives eating the best of foods, While frolicing about with a harem of bad fishes while swimming in Evian.
So for a change lets see some of the finless, eyeless, deformed, and half eaten fish that are a part of Your prized collection. That, even If you could Part with them... Well You prolly' would! But in the meantime they will spend the rest of their days somewhere in your collection... far away from Your display tank.
farlowela minus a tail. don't know how it happened, Just know that his running buddies have beautifull tails with long streamers and he just has a nub.

. He swam so cool! 
) they became deformed. His partner died a few months back. He had a swim bladder problem and constantly floated and did loops for 6-7 years after I saved him from the torture tank... He ate fine but was a wonder how he stayed alive for so long. They were both beat up with torn/permanently damaged fins. The one I still have from that tank is still crippled but not as bad as the first (no swim bladder disease...he doesn't swim in loops). He has the tiniest little pectoral fins that are barely visible along with no ventral fin. His caudal fin is permanently split in the middle. His anal fin is also severly reduced in size which looks like the tip of a knife, red in color about 1/4 of an inch long. He is definitely stunted in his growth. His jaw also curves to the left side of his face when you look at him head on. Kinda like bubba gump... At times I have thought of getting rid of him as he doesn't match the other (perfectly healthy) silver dollars/red hooks that I got later, but to be honest he has really grown on me. I normally don't name any of my fishes but his name is Tardie which is in memory of his buddy who died Tard (RIP). I would post a pic but don't know how...
