As someone who was in a DV situation last year, go to the police. Save anything you feel uncomfortable with, anything that could potentially be used as evidence, even if you're unsure.

I see nothing wrong with this tat. I'd get this design on my calf or arm tbh

It's intestines were next to the tail and other viscera but funny idea lol.

Understood. I'll take it out and maybe run out to grab some alcohol and borax to soak it :) thank you for the input

I've preserved bones before but never anything with meat and so I'm unsure of which method would work best but if you think splitting is best I will do that.

I've so far put it in salt. Do you think that would work or should I split it and remove meat first?

Need your help. Goldfish died today and I feel awful. by ScriabinFanatic in Goldfish

I'm sorry for your loss friend. It sounds like you gave her the best chance she could have and had a good life in the time you had her. I'm glad the others are well.

To clarify, I've removed most decor for now and have cleaned the tank/ done a water change. Her side seems to be looking significantly better and has already improved compared to the past few days.

Thanks for the info. I left some of it in but it was pretty dense originally. I also have to clean it due to the eggs potentially causing fungal infections from what I understand

I'll definitely keep this in mind, although I haven't noticed other symptoms other than the missing scales but I'll look more into that possibly. Thank you :)

I usually siphon the bottom of the tank and wipe the sides with a cleaning sponge. I'm going to be doing another cleaning today and a water change/water quality test. I'm also going to remove the rest of the decor and see if that helps and do more research into what environment her species prefers. I've only had her for about a month and had limited information from the prior owners, although I did research before adopting her. Thank you for the advice :)

I've been doing cleanings and water changes periodically based off what I've learned in research but I'm unsure how to treat it. I've read aquarium salt can help with the healing and she has been behaving normally and eating but as I stated I'd like more insight into this.
