Yea different in different parts of the country here too. It was in South Africa That's where I came to learn the language. I Lived in Labatse, Botswana ... or near there (140km NW) for 17 years until 1996. I was there in SA during the riots of apartheid. I was there to see Mandela freed. A...
I looked at the organs, even through microscopy inspection @1200x, I did not find any unusual occurrances or parasites. The organs looks normal more dark brown than reddish, But I suspect it was due to time in water after death rather than an actual abnormality. I really wish I could post photos...
Well, as to the translation that was not Google, that was my own feeble attempt to remember back when I last spoke the language here in the US with the Amish community.
At to the Light I am using ambient room lighting no light above the tanks. I have feed just about every variety of food...
Translated into Dutch:
Nooit mening op dit ene. Ik vond hem dood vanmorgen. Dit is de eerste dodelijke slachtoffer die is niet suïcidaal. Zijn er meer te komen? Ik heb twee schijnbaar bloeiende mannetjes en de andere twee die zwak zijn. Ze eten maar ooit zo licht, zij nauwelijks eten op...
Nevermind on this one. I found him dead this morning. This is the first fatality that is non suicidal. Are there more to come? I have two seemingly thriving males and another two that are fraile. They eat but ever so lightly, they barely eat at all. I still need some with the other two however...
Reposted traslated into dutch for my friend henkh in the Netherlands:
Dus, om te groeien net een klein beetje te weten met uit twijfel. Maar over het algemeen denken we dat ze mannelijke. Laat heb ik sommige problemen opduiken. Ik heb drie van de resterende 5 gescheiden. De een die u zojuist...
So, they need to grow just a wee bit to know with out a doubt. But generally we thiink ther are male. Of late I am having some troubles crop up. I have three of the remaining 5 segregated. The one you mentioned earlier and two others. A third began hiding frequently at feeding time instead of...
Well, there are differing opinions as to when this occurs. But these fish of mine seem to have all the classic signs of being male. "Males have a more pointed dorsal fin the first 3-5 spiny rays of male’s dorsal fin are elongated and longer filaments on their lyre-shaped tail fin than the...
I bought all they had. It was a special order. So they have no others. I will try again soon to obtain additional fish ... woundering if I could specify female only. Time is working against me ... I believe that they only have a 2 - 3 year life span. One of them is already gone. :O
Thanks...
Thanks for that ... I have separated them further from the others. As you may know the fish were wild caught as far as I know. They have been in quarantine now for the last 13 days and I full expect to have them Quarantined for a full 45 day at least. I have seen no sign of disease in particular...
I was taking some shots of the fish yesterday. As you may know I lost one of the original six as I found it in my Filter. It jumped out through the hole there. Anyway, there are five of them left and I took these shots. I was only able to get four of the 5 fish after nearly 30 minutes of...
On a note, however, I don't have a picture of them all yet. I will over the next couple of day get those. I have a Plan. ;)
Keep lookin'
Thanks for lookin'
Best wishes,
Wes
Now for some pictures of the fish.
Right now they are in Quarantine for the next six weeks. They are doing very well I would say even thriving but time will tell. A bit of sad news though on the ninth day I had an escape artist too it doom. One ended up jumping into the filter and it suffered...
