Now the qustion is, what on earth are you going to do with all the Fish when they are flly grown!?

What is it? Basicly the only thing you need to soak is bogwood- And thats only to get the color out. I only soaked mine for two days, and even though my tank is slightly brown, I think it looks awesome. *nods*

Hes probably very lonely. Fish are social animals, and since you havent been there, and he has no one to play with or watch, hes probably been bored out of his mind.

As long as the fish is behaving normal, and doesn't look like its suffering you can keep it, but if it starts to suffer, you might think about Putting it to peace. (Euthenasia, but as always, correct spelling.) Theres a link on the site, Clove oil and Vodka, although Dragon Lord prefers other methods.

Oooh good thread. Looks like I'll be stopping off at the Pet store to pick up some more food options. :D

I'd suggest checking your LFS for some Algee Remover stuff. I know for Fresh water they have tablets that Fizz, and work rather well.

it's worth looking into before you go through all that work that might kill/Stress out your fish.

Was just clicking around, and Found this. (Yes Im aware I'm spamming the forum. But Edit takes longer to load at work for some reason. )

You said no scales were raised, correct? But theres a lump?

:/

More Dropsy- Picture included.

If you can get a picture of the fish, someone might be able to help more. This is all I can do though, Sorry :/

Good luck, and I hope it isn't dropsy. I'll keep my fingers and toes crossed for you.

Well how big is your tank?

And how many fish do you have in there?

Im only asking, because if the tanks too small, he could be outgrowing it. Or maybe its a tumor- Which you had no control over, Its just the fish. Lemmie see if I can find out more for you. Dropsy Link... Does this sound like your fish?

Tumor Information And Picture...

I'll keep looking, I have about 10 minutes before my lunch break is over, I'll letcha know what I find :D

Thats awesome. Wonder when they are going to be putting up some pictures? I'd love to see the fish and corals.
