Default Newly Purchased Gold Head Comp

Purchased a solid coloured WC Gold Head Comp, but unfortunately suffered from cloudy eye and fins rot, but purchased it anyway, hopefully it will recover to be my breeder stock !!



the Alpha Male got stressed by the new gold head and loses its colour.....

Default no medicine

I didn't put any medicine, just clean water and daily observation. Suspect the water condition was bad before i net him.

It not bad actually, this bugger can still eat and swim around, although the tail fins and side fins are way shorter than others, its swims perfectly. swim bladder are ok, cloudy eye are better now.
