I think it will need a lot of TLC for it to grow to its full potental after that ordeal. Keith Near enough is not good enough, therefore good enough is not near enough, and only your best will do.

pugperson Fish Addict Posts: 877 Kudos: 953 Votes: 293 Registered: 16-May-2003	I have to agree with fish1, all the store will care about is that they have sold a fish. It is just incentive to do it again. However, I do think you did a fine job in rescuing that fish. May not save every fish in that situation, but you have made all the difference in the world to that one fish.
