Bird Beak Burrfish Update

Post by soxfan19 »

So a few months ago I introduced ET, a bird beak burrfish who had been picked on by Angels and Triggers in an LFS. He's been with me for about 5 months now and has been doing great. His side fins (very technical description, I know :lol: )have almost completly regrown and his tail fin is slowly coming back.

Here's the pictures from shortly after I got him:

And here are some updated pictures (cell phone pictures, sorry):

He'll be going into a 125 very shortly.

I saw one at my LFS yesterday! If I had a free tank, I would have definitely got it.
They are very cool fish.
