hi eveeryone just thought i'll update you guys on the 333, he is doing really well and is back in the main tank. i was afraid he will get bully by the others so have been keeping a very close eye on him, but he seem to be doing just fine enjoying his freedom lol (lock up in breeder box). here's some new shots i took earlier.

That's pretty amazing.

Without wanting to tempt fate I would say that as long as it can compete for food then you seem to have brought it back from the brink.

Well done

Must admit i was pretty doubtful of this guys chances when i first saw him but it looks like he is a real aussie battler and not going to pack it in after all.
Really happy he seems to have made it. Well done.

wow, what a nice comeback ! You are doing him fine it seems, looks real good. I would keep following the treatment others advised and I really think he looks good, real good, especially from that first pic. Shows how much you care for him and how much of a fighter he is :yes:

Thanks for the update.

Thanks mooo, he is still doing well out in the 6ft. He is not even hiding or anything just out and about and when I feed he is one of the first to come out to eat which is great. I think he will be just fine, for his tail I don't think it'll ever grow back but he still looks really handsome in a funny way lol. And if u guys want I will update some pictures in a month or so just to let you guys know how he is doing. And I didn't try the betadine I just use melafix but in the future if I have the same problem I will definitely try it, it sounds like a really good idea, it works for us why not fishes right?

Well done. My L201 was worse than that. It's shorter. A short tail grew back. Looks odd but the fish survive. I'll show him when I have time to take a photo.
