Question on my new featherfin

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Dont worry you got a warrior breed of featherfins, from a long line of purebred that came from a time before they were kept in aquariums. they used those bone knifes to ward of enemies and catch unsuspecting prey.

how large was the log? perhaps with him hiding in the log, after a long while the sides would chew up his fins!!


Hmmm it wasn't huge, it was in a 60g tall tank and was the only decor in there. I remember her shaking the log rather vigorously to get him out of there (which annoyed me). There were quite a few large cichlids and plecos in the same tank as him.

He's doing fine...a little "skin" has grown back over the part closest to his body and he swims and acts normal (well, I'm assuming normal...he mostly just sits in his fav corner and stares at me. Not exactly the most active bugger I've ever seen). He really is a gorgeous fish. It's been a few weeks now and I think if he was going to have some ill effect from this, he would be showing signs of it by now.
 
Thought I would update and show you all how well he healed. Both his fins are in full use now and the white exposed bone is covered. Yay!
