It's taboo, but we did it & he lived!

At this point, I don't care if he wants steak & lobster, I'm getting it for him! Still gonna leave him in this tank for a couple more days, just because he's been down for so long.

Would appreciate any advice on what brand & type of some vitamins that yall have used successfully that I can get for him tomorrow. Gonna soak his regular food in them for a few days. Just wanna be sure he's tip top before adding him back into the gladiator pit, lol.

I'm over here being cautious. The fish is probably saying, "Can't you see I've already torn out ALL of your live plants, 1 of the plastic & eaten all the snacks you left me? LET ME OUT of this tiny contraption!"

When all else fails LIVE BAIT.....LOL
Well at least he ate something, thats a good sign.

UPDATE!

What I failed to mention earlier is that tank he's in... well, that was my Molly tank. I left 3 in there just because I was in a hurry to get him moved. They've been shuddering in a corner since we put him in there a couple of days ago. Can you blame them?

I had to run out for an hour & a half & just got back home to find that there's only 1 Molly. Bad for the Mollies but YAY FOR MR. OSCAR! The one remaining Molly was shuttering behind the HOB intake when I started writing this. Now, he's also gone.

I guess that means Mr. Oscar is feeling MUCH better. *so happy*

Congrats!!! Nice Story pics of the patient plz

This operation in video would be incredible

There is video on the first page of his before & after. The procedure itself couldn't be video taped as both of us needed both hands!

make sure you keep the salts in there and maybe add meds to keep from getting an infections!

Glad it worked out for you Dr.Dawn!

[ScorpiosWife]

Thanks everyone! I am SO excited that he's alive and ok. I just need him to start eating so I can move him back in with his tankmates & all will be right in my little fishy world. :)

[allysangels]

if anyone could do it, i knew it was you. the meds were a long shot, would have cost much more, and taken a long time. :) i'm very happy for you and your oscar.
