It seems as though I learned *nothing* from the last one... when I came home with 17 ich-ridden half dead guppies in an attempt to "save".
Just picked up three of the most pathetic looking baby senegals I've ever seen. They are almost three inches long, and I swear to you, their bodies are no bigger around than a Qtip stick. There was a whole tank of them, and I made the guy pick out the three most sickliest, thinnest, rattiest-lookin fish in there. I went at 2 in the morning - the tank lights were out. Primetime for senegal activity. But no... they couldn't even move. They'd become cannibals as well, and I watched for a few minutes as they ripped chunks out of each others fins for dinner. All but the top finlets are non-existent. Also covered in white blotches. Right now they're gorging on bloodworms. I might try to dice (I think "mince" might be a better word) some shrimp tomorrow. Medications are obviously in order, but I'll have to go easy or they might not be able to handle them. For now, they are staying in a barebottom 20 with a bunch of other babies... 3'' ABK, 1'' guppy (good luck to him), 2 2'' kuhlis, and 2 nicklesize veiltail angels. Wish me luck... if they make it and get big enough for a pic that won't break anyone's hearts, I'll share.

Sorry for no updates... my LFS had a fire and has been closed since late July. No new fish, no new diseases, no new growth spurts, no new news at all to be had.
