As you can see I was able to get a few decent pictures of the Figure Eights swimming around the tank. They are much easier to capture than the Dwarf Puffers because they are a little more slow going in the tank and they like the attention of the camera. The one above is the biggest with, as you can see a nice chunk of his tail fin missing. Other than that large portion, he seems to be in good condition and he's got very nice coloration. I've already been able to see a noticeable change in his tail and it looks like it's growing back nicely. They'll really be beautiful fish once they have the chance to heal up their battle wounds. The Figure Eight below is the smaller of the two and if you look at his dorsal fin you can see where it is inflamed and red, just right of the nice water splotch on the glass. He also is pretty banged up, but it's not nearly as noticeable on him as the other. I'm hoping that his fin heals back up with the medication I'm treating him for since he can barely seem to move it as is. It's hard to tell if the days worth of treatment has done much for him, but it certainly hasn't gotten worse.

I noticed today that their water conditions had kind of gone mad and I can only assume that it is from the medication that I am adding to the tank to treat the fin rot. I'll probably end up having to do lots of water changes daily until things go back to being stable, but it's much less of a pain to change the water at my girlfriend's place than it is to do it in the dorms so I don't mind so much. Anyway, there are the two new fish, they seem to be fighting even less now than they were yesterday so maybe they've gotten tired of it. They seem to be pretty equal in dominance.
