What a difference 2 weeks makes!!!!!

Post by Goonerman1 »

The 1st week I had Puff he wasn't well. Water perms weren't 100% and then he had Ich and wasn't eating...was hardly EVER fanning his tail out....what a difference some TLC makes.... here is Puff before and after. First pic is of Puff when I first brought him home form the LFS and the other three are of him now, indulging in his love of shrimp!!!!!! He is now full of life and colour and forever has his tail fanned and he LOVES eating :D .....thank you all for helping me get him to this stage!!!! :D



Puff unhappy, unwell and a strange dark colour, just sitting motionless on top of the heater

In these photos he looks like a figure 8 x GSP cross. he looks great, very envious.

You've done well to steer him round too, its not easy to do.
