Meet Contegia...my first rescue. Poor fella.

Poor little guy he has pretty colors ! Glad he is zooming around and eating, keep his water warm to least 78 if you can till you get the heater. Best wishes for his tail to heal and grow !!!!

He is sitting right next to the heater of my other tank. So its pretty steady. Thanks for all the well wishes :)

AWWE! Oh my gosh, gasp-worthy situation. God bless people like you and everyone who has a heart to take care of the beauties when jerks like that manager don't give a rat's booty.

Keep posting pics so we can see the healing process!:D

Uh, I can't believe the manager said there was nothing wrong with him! He has NO tail left!

I really hope he gets better. I am sure he will. Good for you to take him on. :)

Poor guy :(

If his missing tail is the only issue, clean warm water is the best cure. You can use 1 teaspoon of AQ salt to help ward off infection but do not use more then 10-14 days

Sometimes the manager wont even show up when you ask to speak to him/her. They just foist the same fish person who's doing a crappy job of caring for them in the first place. So yay for the rescue.
