Hi All,

Sorry it's been a while but there hasn't been much to report.... until now.

First thing I have to say is, If Rose tells you "Something" is the best for your fish, do it!! If I had followed her advice more directly Yoshi would have been better by now!

Yoshi's eye hasn't reinflated but the lump stayed as big and looked sore whatever meds I tried, (with a couple of short "no meds just clean water" periods) it looked a bit less sore but stayed the same size. About a week ago I remembered Rose telling me overmedication can be harmful so decided to stop all meds simply to give him a break.

After about 6 days of water with nothing but dechlorinators and stresscoat (1/4 dose) the lump is about half the size and the scales covering it look normal for the first time in a looong time!

I can't quote the exact words but Rose said something along the lines of... "Clean Plain Water is what he really needs.."

I'll post some pics of him in my gallery as soon as I post this...

Thanks everyone!

Bis.
