Gold Nugget rescue

I rescued this gold nugget this past weekend.

I thought I would tag you guys along on my journey.

He was housed with a pair of clarkis and they really did a number on him.

My plan is to place him in a acriflavine bath tonight when I get home. Then he will go into a tank dosed with CP for 30 days. After 30 days I will enter into a 2 week observation while deworming twice.

Sadly I lost him.
Came home the night I posted this and he was a goner.

It looks like a bacterial infection took him out from all of the wounds he suffered.

Looking back I probably should have done the acriflavine bath the same night I took the original picture to help.

I had a toss up, feed him or add stress doing the bath.

I chose to feed him first and do the bath the following night and in hindsight I probably should have done the bath first.
