	His head is disappearing!!!
littleslicknick Fingerling Posts: 40 Registered: 19-Mar-2004	A very good friend of mine has a small (for the moment) tri-colored shark. His head has gone transparent. It started a couple of days ago with his lips/mouth and has now progressed to right where his head ends. Is this normal? His behavior is normal and he continues to eat well. If anyone knows anything, please let me know.

I would suggest picking up a medicine that treats both. Both can be fatal quickly if not treated. Come Play Yahtzee With Me! http://games.atari.com Http://www.myleague.com/yahtgames
