He obviously holds a hard core grudge!

Yes. For sure!

Is it weird to keep the fish that has been so unhealthy and give away the healthy one!?!? Hahaha

Stubby is on the left. Bully on the right. Bully could care-a-less now. Stubby wants sweet revenge!

Nah. you are just a very sympathetic and kind person and have formed an attachment to the one that needs you most. Totally understandable :)

Ok - here is video from stubbys ripped gill.
Opinions? Good to go?

Stubby looks happy and healthy. Didn't see any signs of redness or torn skin hanging. Good job, Dr. Cooper :)

The opening is of normal size, it's just wider than normal.

Unless he's hiding some kind of surprise in there, he should be OK.

Thanks everyone! I’ll video his release tonight!!

Stubby is in! My 4 year old video taped her release....it isn’t good. Lol. So here is a view of the whole tank and all the little guys.

Everyone out of QT! Corals are looking good. I’ll work this next week on sterilizing all QT equipment and getting the corals set up to go in the main tank.

The big tank I will let settle for a couple of weeks before I start another set of fish.

Thank you for all of your help!!
I lost one of my gobys. He jumped through the 1/4” screen! I couldn’t believe it. I cried. A lot. After all that work. It sucked. 1/8” netting ordered. And the glass tops are on for now!

But stubby is great and already out and about!
Bully is still hiding in a corner in my in laws tank...he’s in with 2 Darwin clowns a sailfin and a fox face. Lol. I think he finally has someone his own size to pick on. I chose the right one to keep.

Tank looks good - Congratulations!
