On closer inspection I am overly happy with how my Molly has grown up she's grown up to be such a beaut!

My other half has taken my camera away for the weekend but ill get a snap and post it on monday

Yer I've seen dropsy and I really don't think this is it he's squared off a lot more as well now so odd!

Does he look like my one? I posted a link yesterday. I'll fast him from today and see how it goes he looks just like my other pregnant girls though :/ it's so weird!

I have found a treatment that looks and sounds to be effective with the first treatment. People have said that they have been able to find dead worms in the tank the next morning after treatment. Just have to get right in in there and pray this works I love all my little guys!!
