Hi Reefers,

Have kept this prata for months and it's thriving in my small 2'x1.5'x1' set up.

Kept this guy in friend's tank for a week plus due to moving house, and for some unknown reason its tissue receed and today when I collect from friend's place it looks like this guy is almost gone.

Shouldn't be any problem with my friend's tank as he has got 4 pratas in the same tank doing very well.

So, what should i do now to try to save this poor guy? It's a pity to lost my one and only prata at moment... :( Although i have already expecting the worst scenario before moving house but now still :cry:

Thanks in advance..

This is how the prata looks before the moving house...

I once had a prata which looked like that after I got it from anothe bro, I suspect it due to shock b'cos of the different tank parameters.

Sadly, mine did not servive despite TLV. :(

Alage started growing on its skeleton and it wasted away.
