Save a FATF from death/ Grow Out

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I would say just do your regular water changes. Depending on the size of the tank and stock. The most important thing right now is to keep feeding it.

My 02. I agree, feed'em plenty, but don't sacrifice water quality either. Live black worms fed from a floating dispenser would be another live food option aswell. Good luck, and I'm pulling for you & the l'il tiger!

thank man
 
Hey, I think he's starting to put on some weight. Looking a little more filled in.

I'm starting to think he looks a little Brevis to me.

I had pull out the blackberries $$$ because I couldn't get foods pass those guy.
 
I think you might just pull him back from the brink. :D Very good work so far my man. :thumbsup:

I agree with my initial assessment and with Sashimi; this is a brevis. The head looks a little off from stunting, however. It may recover given enough time. All in all, this is an unusual and most interesting pickup you've made. Brevis seems to be fairly rare even among this group of very rare fish. I am eagerly awaiting continued updates on this thread. :)
 
Oedipus!

Brevis it is then guys and thank rob for the kind words.
 
Wow, yours is already looking a lot better. Nice work.

The goliath is doing awesome, thanks! He's getting huge now and eating a ton. Trying to switch him over to NLS floating pellets now, he doesn't seem very eager to take them yet though.

That great , david got the other Goliath up for sale now. It 8.5" and thick.
