hi there my update...
firstly thank you all for your advice and comments it all helped so much ;-)
well she is still in QT, she has been on medication with pond salt added that has helped speed up the process.
there is NO SWELLING NOW .... and her figure looks gr8 her colours are as
bright as before and seems to be resting in a cave more (settling in or lonely)
today was the start of 10% water changes which will continue daily till the weekend
if all goes well till by the end of the weekend
hopefully she can return to the main tank where she has been missed by her
sister and the other tank m8's i'm sure..
once she has totally recoverd i will post a picture of her again to show you
hopefully you will be as pleased as i to see her..
many thanks again
