She's called "Jineal" and I've only had her for a few months although we've been through a lot together. She was the first fish I've ever ordered online and had delivered through the post and it wasn't a good experience for either of us.they call it as a "hawkfish". She arrived after being packed up for 48 hours and was physically shaking with fright. I put her into a dark tank to let her calm down and immediately saw that she was riddled with fish lice so had to pick them all off with tweezers which she really wasn't impressed with. She thrashed about so much to show her annoyance and I had loads of water splashed in my face! We got rid of the lice but she was covered in open sores and looked terrible. Then she got the worst case of ich I've ever seen and was very poorly but pulled through that. Then, I discovered she had gill maggots as well. We are over them now (I hope!) and she is making a great recovery and looking lovely for the first time since I've had her. She still has one open wound near her tail which is being a bit stubborn about healing but hopefully that will be gone soon. Poor old thing she is, but throughout she's been a little fighter and has such a great character as the piccie shows! Ooo I'm so chuffed about this it's unreal! Minstrel's going to get a special treat for supper now as a reward (probably a prawn, her fave) so no doubt will be over the moon too! oo I'm gonna open a bottle of wine to celebrate! lol
