2nd Pic is 3 days after medicating
As you can see the swelling has gone down considerably, and he's healing much faster than any fish I've ever owned.
It's a little tough getting him out of the tank every day; I've been guiding him into a heavy duty garbage bag and pulling him out of the tank and into the rubbermaid bin.
I'm glad he doesn't get too freaked out, he's a very placid fish which makes handling him on a daily basis easier on both of us.
