Tropical Gar : The Singapore Order

[channarox]

they've got to have grown 1cm by now!

Mine doesn't seem particularly adapt at catching the faster Mollies.
BUT, he must have had something to eat, as he's gained a bit of girth.

 

[Schmike]

this was how the trop looks like yesterday:

this is how it looks like now after i brought it for treatment by Dr Fred Chua:

as expected, the dead area needs to be amputated.

the amputated area:

got some antiseptic lotion to apply to the wound daily.

I'm still trying to get it to feed.

 

[channarox]

Hope it pulls through, Schmike!

 

[Schmike]

it can definitely pull through if it starts feeding.

better take note of the behavior and condition of your trops.

i got news of others with similar bacterial infection. such conditions can spread.
