Vincent is doing much better today! All of the gold dust is gone, which hopefully means I successfully eradicated the Velvet (which I have decided are the spawn of Satan himself... nasty little buggers!). I'm still going to keep him in QT for another week just to make sure it is gone though.
His appetite has been good and he has been active. He has been getting constipated a little but that usually only happens for a couple hours before he poops, so I'm not terribly concerned, as he has always had issues with this. He has lost a little bit of color, but I think that is because he misses his castle, as he is healthy otherwise and his water is kept very clean.
Sorry for the dirty tank sides in the pictures! It got a little algae buildup on the outside while I was floating it in his big tank. Since room temperature now is 78 degrees, I made my life a little easier by setting the QT next to the big tank so I could see him better and feed him more easily. I need to clean that but finals are killing me. 3 more days!
Bonus pic of his little face and flap-flappers (what I have affectionately dubbed his little EE pectoral fins):
