Gill Curl Treatment

yea its kinda like surgery. I had a bass that got his gill ripped, so I trimmed it and it looks a lot better
Depends. As for the actual gill plate, no, it will not grow back. As for the Soft part of the gill, I would like to say no as well. It's always better to cut the gills BEFORE it starts curling the gill plate. But, then again, I have NEVER seen a Pbass with gill curl.
I think your right on both counts Hayn the broko's that i recieved the smaller one with the clover tail markings his curl is so heavy it's almost like calust skin and a heavy 1/16th outside the plate once i get them feeling a bit better i will cut that off and see what happens .On all my p's to this point that i have raised not only have i not seen any gill curl but i have never seen the soft membrane part stick out this far either .So it's possable they might look somewhat normal....One thing i am afraid of until they get a little meat on there bones is killing them by taken them out and stressing them thats' why i am waiting a bit ..But i gotta tell ya these little guys must be tuff cuz they must have went through the ringer for sure ...haynchinook334;4728326; said:
I seen your Hulon. It don't look that bad from the picture/s. You still might have a chance of saving the gill my massaging it. I have never did it with Pbass, but I did do it with a couple catfish.
