It lives!!!!!! So I rescued this little jag a while back from a small tank with other cichlids and long story short I was 85% sure it wasn't gonna make it. I didn't even bother posting about it I was so sure. Literally no fin on the tail left. Chunks of scales missing and right fin was almost gone. But low and behold with some good water changes and some tea tree oil and boom fully recouperated.

Some of you may know there is a 6-7 inch male jag in this tank as well, and I feel the mere fact that they co-exist is an indicator towards female. But I'm not sure, I'd say this one is pushing 4-5 inches.
 
Do you have any before pics ? Looks real nice and healthy hard to believe it was beat up before, good job

I'll have to ask my girlfriend. I know I didn't bother because I was sure it wouldn't make it. Couldn't even swim just kinda hobbled on the bottom. But after a few days it started to eat then before I knew it I was putting it in my big tank and now fully recovered.

These pics are probably too blurry to try to sex it huh? I'll have to get some better ones after work.
