Pls tell her she is a beautiful and very good garl

joshmattila.bsky.social•47 days ago

Love it! Also, what was the treatment they gave her? I'm thinking about all the tangs in people's aquariums that suffer from head and lateral line erosion and wondering if this is a related issue and treatment.

I can't explain it, but I love gar for the same reason I love my greyhounds. I cherish longbois ig.

As someone who rescued a 2y old cat almost 12years ago, I thank you for having love and compassion and just trying to do what was best for your lovely pet🥹🩷 it sucks how she was treated, but you just showed how long we can come with genuine love and compassion for life🩷

YAY! That is so sweet!

geosesarma.bsky.social•48 days ago

Really incredible what they can survive. A friend of mine has an eyeless florida gar he found covered in fish lice, skinny, and so dark from stress it looked melanistic, has since fattened up, learned to eat w/o vision, and is looking great

atomiclobstar.bsky.social•48 days ago

Can pictures of your friends gar be obtained and shared please? 🥹

timberdoodlydoo.bsky.social•48 days ago

I'm so glad you were able to bring her home!

vgwschutte.bsky.social•48 days ago

SOLOMON. You did SCIENCE on her and now she's healed?? And you get to care for her again? This is just wrecking my day in the best way 😭

dralgaegirl.bsky.social•48 days ago

This is the sweetest story ever. I'm so happy for your gar!!!

And now I'm tearing up at my desk.

Thank you for caring and going the long haul with a sentient being. Many wouldn't.

thekristeno.bsky.social•47 days ago

Thanks for sharing this. Needed something wonderful to experience today. Question: does she have a name (apologies if I missed it!)?

solomonrdavid.bsky.social•47 days ago

Thanks for checking out her story! She does not yet have a name (I may need to put that to our team). Back in the day if I named a fish they often died (😬) so I don’t name my fish anymore but let others do it and that’s worked👍

She is simply gar-geous and I love her deeply

newdawntackleco.bsky.social•48 days ago

My best friend of 25 years sent me this on IG, and this type of thing is ✨exactly✨ why he's my best friend.

Brb. The pollen is really making my eyes water today.🫩🥹🙌

ichthyophile.bsky.social•48 days ago

This needs an article, not a few sentences. Do they have lots of neuromasts on the rostrum? Would make sense I guess.
