My New Little Worm (Probable Super Salmon)
When I got her in a last week, I noticed she had a raised portion on her snout. I had noticed it in the picture the breeder sent me, but he dismissed it as nothing (camera angle or whatever). Once I informed him of the situation, he was extremely apologetic and offered to do something to make it right. So, we'll assume he didn't notice.
Anyway, she obviously had an abscess. It was drained, cleaned and medicated. She was placed on antibiotics and she just finished her shed cycle. It took a little effort (on both our parts) to get it all off, but she's shiny and brand new now! Looking much better. Not completely healed, but a great improvement. Apart from being a little dehydrated, and a small scratch/scar on her nose, she's in good shape now.
Honestly, I would have gotten her regardless of whatever flaws she has. She is a beautiful, well tempered, young (very small) lady. She has wonderful colors (pinks, burnt oranges, pastels, purples, etc), a trippy looking stripe in splotches going down her sides, and an awesome reduced pattern to boot. I can't wait to see the colors she gets as she ages! 
Time will tell if she proves out to be a Super.

I love the dark orange splotches in her eyes.

My stupid camera washes out a lot of her colors, they do her no justice at all. I also didn't want to mess with her for very long, so they aren't the best quality.
Anyway, I lubs her.
