Injured fish pics
How long do you think this fish would survive?
any idea of what disease would cause such erosions or do yo u think its fish attacking each other? Feel free to post your pics of injured fish pics.

Not my Fish crvz. was gonna post the end pics but got disconnected yesterday.
Those are in a public display. the anthia I didn't find in the following visit few months later. the clown seems to have recovered after 4 months, but showed very ugly helup scar. usually fish are good healers and can recover without signs of injury but this one did not. after 4-5 months. the Mrs and the lovely couple or should I say for better or worse

Not saying I'm happy to see such a fish. But it is amazing that a fish with such wounds or tissue loss from disease got to survie or recover at all. This is in a huge aquarium display so they could not take it out to QT or Euthanasia. weirdly that fish healed on it's own and yes what it healed to was hard to see and that scar is huge which also is very weird as fish heal much better than this usually which is the weird thing here. the tail healed nicely as can be seen in pics 2nd and third pic of the new set.
Another weird thing si that it has so much prominent teeth, don't know if this is caused by the injury or by the fact that it is a very big clown. Yes scars are ugly but the healing power of fish is just amazing. Can't wait to be back to Denmark to see it again.
