Hopefully the area doesn't get infected. I'd probably still keep up with the epsom salt. Hope she has a 100% recovery and it heals correct. Not sure what the removal of that area will do with breeding though
Good move - you had to do something if she was looking that rough, and even if it messes up her future breeding, which I think less likely than likely, she will still be a beautiful fish - keep us updatedHopefully, it's the right move. She wasn't eating and was motionless at the bottom so I felt like I needed to do something fast or I'll lose her. I think she'll be okay now since she's eating and active again. I'm only concern now is if she can spawn again. Time will tell.
It's nice to hear that she's back to normal!!Update: female festae operation was successful and she can still produce successfully. I have free swimmers!!!
