He has come along way in 2 months.

He's looking a lot better, but pretty darn skinny. Has he been treated for parasites?

yea he eats like crazy, i put some garlic on his food, that is what i have heard you are suppose to do for parasites, any other suggestions.

Garlic is supposed to help, I've not had to deal with parasites (haven't done wc fish yet). I'd probably try a metronidazole/praziquantel combo product.

Can the parasite spread through the tank?

I think the pelvic fins in the pics are creating the illusion of a sunken belly. Great colors, really love the pattern on the tail.

I agree they add to the idea that he is skinny, but even taking that into account, I think he looks thinner than when he was all beaten up.

That's what my eyes are seeing as well [Only Registered Users Can See Links.]

Beautiful fish and yes, he has come a long way! Great job thumbs2:

Well he is thin but when he was beat up he had no color so he looked bigger, he has got a little thicker since then, i do think he has a parasite cause his belly is sunk in badly.

I would start treating him with Metro and this should take care of it.
