It IS fascinating and amazing to me how well Moby is doing. It sounds like he has a great surgeon.

i have a question about the tumor.before you do the surgery does the tumor look like a black dot? i had a friend who said there was a little black dot on her fish...

Romad

OMG - I commend you for going through with that. "WOW' is about all I can say................

Lupin

Yes, it has a black tint which most tumor cases are and when you remove the flesh, it also is black in the deeper layers. Do you have a photo of her fish? What fish is it?

Moby remains perky as usual although when he is bored by himself, he sits on the bottom. Lonely but I can't mix him with other fish until the wounds heal at least. I've been administering betadine on his deep wounds from time to time but it looks like the wounds are healing a bit. I am just glad the blood clot quickly after the surgery.

Glad to hear moby is doing so well! That is something to be proud of!
My Goldfish also sulked at the bottom of the tank when he was put in QT, better days ahead!

I'm so glad to hear that Moby is on the road to recovery. :)

And when may we expect to see a pic of the new & improved Moby?

Lupin

Here he is. They're hasty shots so they aren't good quality. Excuse the water marks.




The baby is four inches already. That's a lot from 2.5 inches. Woo hoo!
