    I'm assuming it is pretty much dead or close to it with all of its skeleton showing like that. There is a little bit of flesh left, but I'm thinking about taking it out.

    It can recover from that? I just need to know if I should take it out before it messes with the tank.

    It can "come back" but it is never a sure thing , good params and stability are key
    hope it turns for you
