Regular Member blackteles Posted January 22, 2010 Regular Member Share Posted January 22, 2010 (edited) Just wanted to say that one of my Rain Garden Telescopes, Patch, had a torn dorsal fin when I received him a week ago today. Here's a photo below of the split in Patch's dorsal fin but I'm surprised to see that the tear has completely closed and healed within a week since I released him into the 55 gallon tank. I personally thought it would take much longer to heal, but everything's good as of today. By the way, all three Honolulu Telescopes are active and doing great!

Regular Member devilduck Posted January 22, 2010 Regular Member Share Posted January 22, 2010 He's lovely Splitting like that can be caused by stress, my Rusty had a similar thing a week ago and it's nearly all healed up now It probably happened during shipping. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member Trinket Posted January 23, 2010 Regular Member Share Posted January 23, 2010 Im so glad he's healed up well! Well done. That's a fairly minor side effect of shipping stress so he and you are quite lucky. There have been stories of far, far worse arrival issues so Im glad he arrived to you looking generally so good. Cute !! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
