Re: Question about the belly circles..

I know for a fact that the airline, Delta, doesn't allow fish.- Only 4oz of liquid allowed- no exceptions. They'll take fish air cargo.. but its very expensive. Plus every time i fly i either have the 2 cats or the macaw with me on the plane... Fish too would be pushing it.

Yes, when I got him from wal-mart he was in a little tank w/ 10 or so GSPs, many of whom were larger than him. (from what i now know from reading up on them the conditions he came from were appalling) Fie on wal-mart.

So that explains the tail...Are the circles from the abuse? Will they go away?
