chibikaie Posted September 19, 2014 Report Share Posted September 19, 2014 Was the deformity causing the fish distress in some way? Still confused here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesHe Posted September 19, 2014 Report Share Posted September 19, 2014 Was the deformity causing the fish distress in some way? Still confused here. It's normal for wild type altum angel. some fish has whole fin gone, and then it grows back. in some cases, the fin grows the wrong way and loss its value of the fish. this is not altum, just show you what I'm talking about: cut fin: re-grow: miwu and countryboy12484 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pika Posted September 29, 2014 Report Share Posted September 29, 2014 I have a friend who is a fish vet in Texas. He made this awesome harness for a goldfish with swimbladder issues, which I love to share with people as evidence that there is good, advanced care for aquatic species out there if you want it. Not everywhere, and not always cheap (especially compared to what most fish cost to buy/replace :/) but it's out there! https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=O_kRPzteiCA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soothing Shrimp Posted September 30, 2014 Report Share Posted September 30, 2014 I guess it depends on what personal feelings are with an individual animal. For some, how much an animal costs correlates with how well they treat an animal. For others, it depends on what type of emotional bond they have with it.

Pika Posted September 30, 2014 Report Share Posted September 30, 2014 Yeah, I really think it depends on the person and the fish. Some of them can live as long as the fuzzy-cuddly pets we get attached to, like rats, ferrets, rabbits. I also know some Koi breeders will spring for MRIs... But their fish can be thousands a pop, so it makes more "sense" to most people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
