Hope it pulls through for You and Mike!
Never even guessedPim and Doradids could cross.
MFK is a box of surprises, really.

No worries - you got me excited there for a moment. Spent quite a bit of time trying to run down a picture of an adult, but no luck.
I hope so too.
Although its a man made cross - its still pretty amazing. Especially when you consider that the two fish are from different families. Perhaps the lines drawn there need to be re-examined to see how distantly related these fish are.
Cool cat! Hope he recovers for you! I would have bought one if I didn't already have a 24" niger

Did a water change today and re-dosed cupramine and salt. Water temperature up to 84F. First visible sings of rapid breathing today.
Still accepting massivore like a pig though!
Thank you - Im hoping that the large side scales remain visible on this guy as he grows up. You can see them now, so hopefully.

Update -
He has put on some weight, and also the ich has fallen off.
Hopefully it doesnt make much of a return.
I am thinking that it is probably more due to the salt (about 3 tablespoons in 10g) and water temperature (84F) than the cupramine - as living in the city I use prime on my tap water - even though our tapwater here in central Wisconsin has won awards.
Either way - heres a video. You can see he is in better condition and no longer covered in white spots (for the time being)

Glad to hear he shook off the ich. Looking good from the video, alert and hungry! Cant wait to see how you get on with this specimen.
Thanks - Im glad too, hopefully it doesnt come back.
He still has cloudy eyes - going to run the cupramine and salt for two more weeks and then do a week of prazi, hopefully by then he will be looking great.
In addition after he completes QT I will take a measurement on him so we can really accurately measure growth.
