Is she fixable? just got her from the lfs

[lilfats2]

they had this little flowerhorn with a full grown red devil managuense and green terror... she was in the corner under the filter for 2 months everytime i went there i could not figure out what kind of fish she was... she was black beat up and looking almost dead. so i told them to move her to a diff tank.... she got a little better but still looks horrible... i took her home and i am trying to ressurect whatever i can out of her... here are some pics... comments ideas blah... here...

I'd keep her.
Keep the water clean, feed her right.
She might not turn out the prettiest, but I think it's worth it.

"She" is almost certainly a "he". Vent shots would help clear things up.

He isn't beat up, and there's no healing he has to do. He's actually in the process of "fading". All that black/dark spots will be gone as time goes.
It's a Jing Kang.

Hope this helps,
JP
