Still looking good, mouth is good and tight and good extension ... sounds like it's doing great with getting sticky. I zoomed in (as best I could) and it looks like there is color starting to show in the oral disk, a faint hint of brownish color. Still can't tell what it will turn out being but YAY!!

On the 5-18 pictures I definitely see the color coming back. It looks pinkish to me. Maybe you have an RBTA.

Could be months before it's fully recovered. Slow and steady though, just look at all you've accomplished so far. When I look back to the first picture I see an animal that many would have given up on and yet your nemmie is looking better every day. Hang in there. All signs are extremely good and you'll probably be able to see great improvement from week to week now. Keep doing what you're doing! We should call you the 'nemmie whisperer' now. LOL

Wow I thought that thing was already dead when I looked at the first pic. You did an awesome job bringing that thing back.

You know to tell you the truth I did not think I was going to be able to bring it back I only knew little about Nem and I thought to myself I need to do whatever I can to bring this Nem back . I truly love Nems and clowns and really make a tank in my eyes that is why I have a total of 3 nems well 4 now that my RBTA has split . . Thank you for the complement

I think the 'color' balance is closer to reality in the first photo. Second picture is too blue. Also, it LOOKS like there's a little 'bubble' action starting on some of the tips. I don't see a whole lot of change in the color from the previous pictures but this is a 'long haul' kind of proposition.

The first picture look true to the color . I truly think it is all up hill now with this BTA i just can wait to see the color darken up much more

So wait for like 2 weeks for the next photo and compare it to these. Maybe then we'll see a change (probably too subtle to notice at this point).

It's obviously doing much better and it's just a matter of him getting the zooxanthellae back in full. Since you haven't mentioned anything about it's behavior I'm assuming it comes out and stays out in full lighting and is still eating well. How are your other nemmies doing?
