When I got these fish that is what they all looked like. The Tang was tore up, the poor Foxface has no tail, but, he gets around, the angelfish is deathly looking, and the chromis are new. I don't think the dude who had them knew how to care for them properly. He did not do his homework. I am different however, I know exactly what they need! They will be looking a lot better quickly, and, if you can believe it or not, they already look twice as good as they did the day that I acquired them. I am not lying either.
