By the way, the antennae should grow back provided that they are not injured at the actual base of their growth.

The other just fell off. The base seems okay. Leavin for Utah in a few hours, so it's up to my girlfriend. He's her favorite, so I'm sure she'll keep an eye on him.
Bit of an update. Girlfriend says he's still not eating but the oscars are. 
She says he's still staying at the top so good news there. Most of the white mucas stuff has come off, but some of the scales look damaged. Guess we'll wait and see. I didn't have time to put any melafix in before I left. Water parameters are maintaining. I'm still worried he won't be there when I get home.

New update. He seems to be the same. Still swimmin okay, not lookin for food. The oscars are chowin. His scales look a bit ruffled but other than that, he seems to be okay. I figure he can go another 10-14 days without food before we have to worry. Water parameters are good, stabalized. Just hope for the best. Job ain't goin good, was supposed to be goin home friday but looks like the following week sometime. Killin me being out here and not there to tend to him. If it doesn't get any better by Tuesday, I'll have my girlfriend pull the carbon and add melafix.

Great news!!!!!!! Grumpy at 2 shrimp about an hour ago. :dance She didn't pump any vitamins in but will try to tomorrow. Basically we pour some liquid vitamin on a plate and as the shrimp thaw, it sucks in the vitamins. She added some stress coat this morning. I don't think that caused him to eat but couldn't have hurt. I'm feelin a lot better now. I hate being away during a crisis like this. Thanks for all your help folks.
