Stiffed by my lfs?!

[najer]

I have two scopas that live at my lfs, a rescue I bought after getting it eating, hlle rescue.
A couple of months ago I bought a baby scopas friend for it and they have lived happily with a couple of clowns since in a coral tray, I am sorting them a home with me, I already have two scopas in my big tank.
On Sunday I noticed damage to the tail and today damage to the fin so decided to bring it home.
I was distracted by the damage both days.
This is borderline hlle and skinny, this is not my baby fish!
The manager is investing, even he commented how odd it was that this had happened today!
It has not stopped eating, natural algae grazing since it went in and is starving.
Everyone knows that I own them and will go ballistic once I find out who sold mine and replaced it with this!

Oof, not only is it hlle+malnourished, it's also got a bad case of velvet as well...

Let's call it a work in progress!

Hope you can bring him back to health. Might be time for a new LFS. Glad to see others care for fish that are injured that most would pass on.

@najer I need to catch up on your build thread. I’ve been out of the loop on everything for a while!

Hopefully they figure out what happened. You’ve got plenty of algae to fatten that little guy up.

I have a bit of a reputation rescuing fish, it will be fine but still not my baby scopas.

Good luck with this guy! If anyones' tank can help it, I'm sure yours will.
And I'm so sorry that yours was sold. I'd be really P.Offed too

I own 4 scopas tangs, 2 in my big tank and this one and my rescue in a tank at my lfs, my favourite tang, I am like the last person to try and confuse about scopas tangs!
