Looks like MBD too. I don't think we'll ever eliminate this entirely, but I sure try. I tell lots of people whenever I can. Some listen some don't. Every little bit helps.

Not terrible pyramiding, but looks like bad MBD. Look at how flat he is...needs some serious calcium...I am not quite sure what organ damage is caused by MBD

MBD is killer. I hope that he isn't too far gone; being kept in a tiny tank is awful when he should be growing like a weed!
It's especially sad because from her ad she seemed to really care about the tort, but if so why didn't she do the research? There are care sheets all over the web, books available....
