I did the 6th dip this morning and returned her to the tank - i think she is better but really hard to tell as it will take 6 months for the damage area to regrow if ever; i took a lot of pictures both top and side but these are the only two worth showing. If she comes to the font of the tank...
Others can give you a better answer - when i had a group i really couldn't tell diddly till they reached sexual maturity and the males really shined. That was around 3 inches and a bit which is near 8 cm but others might be a lot more clever than myself after all i'm only a newbie.
Did dip 2 and 3 can't really tell if she is better but i also gave her a water change. I think after dip 6 thursday morning i will return her to the aquarium since she is stress as stress can be but will post an updated picture. The area that was infected appears more white so maybe that is a...
Given their large size i would recommend a 40B in usa. I have a pair of males for a couple of years now in my discus aquarium which is 72x24 and they can cover the territory pretty quickly. That doesn't mean a 20 long isn't fine - having said that i'm not beyond putting a 3 inch fish in a 10 so...
I don't feel like starting a new thread so i'll just post it here in case it interest someone:
I did the dip #1 today and she is quite pale which i suppose is expected - for somewhere between 24 and 28 seconds. I then was looking a couple of aquariums and noticed this mess:
Now I thought...
I have a sand soil mix and i just set them on top - or a few roots gently pushed in to keep them stable - then i use a mister but one could put a jar over them and set them inside in an area with a little but not too much sun. the key thing is to keep them moist.
Ok much to my surprise she let me net her though she is really pissed off right now. she is in a 5 gallon pail with approx 3 1/2 gallon of water. Tomorrow i will mix up 1 1/4 cup of tablet salt with approx 2 1/2 to 3 gallons of water (the water quantity won't be exact as i don't have a way to...
i understand i just wory abuot shocking the fish. Anyway if i can catch her i will try it - it is a 100 with about 70% of the area uncatch able so i have to sweet talk her into the net. Sometimes it work as is the case with most of my nijjensi and sometime they decide not and then vanish for a...
The leaves need to stay moist at least the ones i tried - i used a mister but in theory if you have 90% humidity or even 80% then they might be fine. If they completely dry out they will die i believe. I was one tiny purple aflame but mostly i have crypts and a few buces in my emersed setup...
Ok. I'll see if i can catch her and put her in a 5 gallon pail approx 18 liter and use a 2nd pail for salt dip. If 18 liter isn't enough i can get a 10 gallon aquarium and put it on the floor. The room is warm enough for her and of course seasoned sponge filter.
Very slow moving bacteria - she...
I'm not sure i can do this - the fish is in a 48x24 inch aquarium ~95 gallons. While i tisn't too shy the first time i try to net it - it will never come near me again. I might be able to nap it once but if i dip it I'll have to put it somewhere where i can dip it again.
Bigger question is what...
This is a female winkelfleck approx 3 years old and i can't tell what happened to its scales. It is only on one side - she is an eager beaver when it comes to feeding and otherwise shows no issues. I do have whiptails in the aquarium now and i would think doubtful but could one have mauled her ...
This is an updated picture showing how the tail has darkend into an orange as they continue to evolve. They are in 65 now though to my knowledge no breeding attempts; the ec is fairly low maybe around 40 but i don't think it is that acidic - maybe 6.2 - not sure if that is an issue. Kind of wish...
Well n. marilyn are a nice fish if you can get them - they are very peaceful and while a bit difficult to see their detail up close due to size if one takes the time they are pretty nice. They tend to cluster in an area and stay in a tight ball - for example when i do water changes they will...
