So I had an empty 29g that needed some re-doing, so I broke it all down and painted the back and changed the substrate to PFS. I took some of my hornwart clippings and tossed them in there with a pot. I went to my LFS and was looking into maybe a firemouth or maybe even somthing really bizzar. I failed on both accts and saw this convict stressed, and with very cloudy eyes in a murky 75 that was full of pleco's. I knew it was a risk but I had them bag her up and with a bottle of melafix is was on my way. Its been several days now and she's just starting to not run from me, her eyes are starting to clear up and she's started to eat. Anyhow thats the story and here are the pic's.

Nice rescue, thats a nice con. What kind of plants are those?

Thanks man, most of it is hornwart but there is a red tiger lotus bulb sprouting in there, some "betta bulbs" , and there is also a java fern and anubis floating around in there.
