Guys

This specimen has been with me since early November 2006.

The initial 2 months were a bit rocky with this fish hence the scar above its eyes (identical on both sides). I've been researching and found that it could possibly been caused by a certain vitamin/nutrient deficiency. Been feeding it well with a very wide variety of food ever since.

The scars are there... I suppose permanently.

But the fish is very healthy, eating well... behaving well with other tank mates.

4.5" long.

Since the fish is no longer perfect, I shall let interested owners decide its worth... therefore will start the bid at

$1

Bid closing date: This wed 11.59pm

Available in 2 weeks.

Hopefully I can find this blackie a nice home :)

Note: The floating particles in the picture are actually Cyclopeeze :D

:thanks:

I believe the disease is Marine Hole in the Head or Hand and Lateral Line Erosion (HLLE).

Here's some read on the disease for those who are keen in the fish but wanted to know more on treating it.

Very good read bro Gouldian... and I really want to stress this to interested bidders... please be prepared for a less-than-perfect fish.

From now on, do bid with care.

I will also allow previous bidders to withdraw their bids :)

No worries, it was honest of you posting the picture of the fish openly to give buyer an early heads up.

Just wanted to point out that HLLE is reversable, I have seen a few recovering without scars. Most just by removing the stress and feeding quality pellets soaked in Selcon.

HTH ;)

Agree...

My ABT also has that problem in the past. Now recovered and just feed it with lots of nutritious food and chances of reoccurence will be greatly reduced.
