The most beautiful male blue star I’ve seen in person...

It’s my friend Kyle’s (@HotRockTarBaby), I’m quarantining his Fish until he learns the ropes.

Also helped move his Reefer 750 XXL today and I hate him for that.

Anyway, came in with a swollen swimbladder. Followed the instructions on this video with a safety pin (not ideal) and after 5 stabs I gave up and hoped for the best.

Well now he’s not spiraling! Hopefully I didn’t do any other internal damage. I knew if I did nothing he had no chance!



Sorry about dirty tank been a long day! By the way, the Achilles Tang left him alone right after that. Not sure what that was about!

I followed this

He’s doing pretty well today still. I’d like to think if any of the stabs were the wrong organ, he’d be dead or in bad shape.

Crossing fingers!

Me and you both!
