just put my female F1 down , raised from egg from her WC parents. her brother from same clutch broke through the divider and skinned her. On a up note he has the 145 to himself and promises to be a very large male.

My male GT had it MUCH worse than that - 50% of all scales lost on both sides and he STILL came back. That's why I don't euthanize unless all hope is lost. Fish and their slime coat are RESILIENT when it comes to healing. The GT show NO signs of trauma and it's only been a few weeks since I moved the RTM that did it to him.

I'm sorry for your loss, pops but I wouldn't have done it if the fish still looked that healthy. She could have made it, I promise

Ussuely I would agree but she was almost compleatly(sp) skinned on the other side, not descales, skinned, just exposed muscle.
