Poor Gar

[Lepisosteus platyrhincus]

I went to my lfs today. they had a small gar with extremely bad fish lice. He kept freakin out because of them.

I tryed to get him but they wanted too much and wouldnt lower the price.
They were dosing him for ick originally, then they realised it was lice.
I told them how to treat the lice but.....

well hopefully it will be ok. if it looks better next week ill buy it

Depending on what they are treating him with....he may not be around long.

I know. I told them about it and the lady was understanding and stopped treatment. she added salt and bumped the temp as well as pick some off.
Just figures, a beatiful small longnose (first ive seen in any of my local stores) and it might not make it.....
SUCKS!!!!!
