        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!

          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*

              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!"

                          Day 13 - It looks like a tornado has hit the tank, lol. I salvaged what I could of the live plants he didn't completely shred (which was most) & left the plastic ones for him to toss around. The heater is now free floating, as is the intake filter for the canister filter, the HOB intake is off again, I can see tank floor where he's moved all the sand around & he's disassembled some of the plastic plants. I've got work to do!

                          I think it's safe to say Mr. Oscar is feeling a lot better.

                            Without a doubt!

                            Day 14 - He has made a complete disaster of the 50g & made it crystal clear by splashing me with water numerous times throughout the day to get my attention, that he is back to his silly self. So, tonight I moved him back into his 180 with his other water puppy friends. You can barely see where I picked his scales off to stick him with the needle.

                            Everyone was happy to see him. They immediately got into their "fish gang" formation & swam the length of the tank together a few times, bumping and tail slapping each other as they went. All is well in my little fishy world.

                            Now to take down the 50g... or should I put something else in it? Hmmm.
