    Yesterday between 1:00 and 3:00 my foxface got into my overflow and had got stuck onto the pipe causing a lot if trauma to his body. He has 2 ring marks on his body where he was sucked onto the pipe. One of his eyes are out of socket and his fins are battered. I thought for sure he would be dead by this morning because he could not see last night and would not eat because he couldn't see the food. He would swim around the food but couldn't find it. He was bumping into everything and could not move his mouth either. Well today I woke up and he has his sight in one eye again and eating very well and swimming like a champ. Hopefully he will continue to pull through. Here is a pic of him not very good but trying to keep the lights down a little.

    Wow. I really hope the guy pulls through for you! It is amazing what some of this fish can endure.
