Hi all, I've got 2 angels that are now 3.5" ( golden diamonds ) I think. They have deformed ventrals one looks broken where the thin part starts the other looks like a coliflowered ear on a boxer might look. Now I've read in the past that dorsals & anal fins can be trimmed/shaped, what I'd like to know if the same applies to ventrals on angels? They are very nice specimen and if possible I would like to try and do a little cosmetic surgery if its safe to do so.
A hospital tank with meth blue awaits them for a recovery period.
I'd like to hear any and all experiences and oppinions on the subject so I can weigh every option b/4 commiting one way or another. If cosmetic surgery is safely posible it sure would improve their statuesqe appearence

TIA
Regards Bear
