any juvie orino pics?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
man this stinks...the smaller of the orinos that never really showed much growth since i bought them a month in a half ago...so i got 4 then lost 2 from sensitivity and now i think im losing another one which is the smallest and weakest of the much bigger and dominant one...smallest is 1.5-2" only and the biggest one is about 2.5-3" and so is more fatter and aggressive. Well today was i saw is that the bigger one started ramming the lil guy and started biting its sides while the smaller one did nothing but stay their and looked like it was floating...but the weird part is while it was constantly being attack when ever i get their attention by putting my fingers above the water they stop and want food even the small one...you guys think the lil one is nearing death? I now can see a blood spot on the side of the eye which is leaking blood or some reddish liquid...=[ what do you guys think? is he done for or he has a chance to live? he just keeps floating aorund now and can't swim up straight
 
not having too much luck eh christian?
i lost 1 of my orinos while i was out for 2 hours

and one of my other orinos just got his fin bit off and now he isnt eating
i think im gonna have to move the mean one into the 29 gallon to grow out...
 
what the O.O
either i didnt look carefully enough or the pbass's fin grew back in 7 hours O.O
and he is looking totally fine, plus i just tested if he would eat and he ate
good news but im freaking out now

this fish is awesome!!!

nope not having so much luck...i want to get a group of more peacock basses and not just have one orino...it would look weird in a near 1,000 gallon tank being the only pbass...should i get some WC Tems? Their are some WC tems at 3" for $20 each...maybe some occels and mono...but not too much just a group of 6-8 peacock bass...say my 1 orino ( hopefully the smaller ones kicks in and holds on abit longer) 3 WC tems, and maybe some ocels and mono's...

lol lucky you...as for my lil guy he's having bad luck...i guess its only the strong that survives :irked: dang...its crazy :nilly: i need more pbass...lol jk :ROFL:
 
so what some other cichla's that occasionally be sold from a vendor on here? Not the mono's, ocels, orinos, tems...what else? intermedias i know of...what about azuls or some other ones?
 
just to update on how the lil orino is doing...he's still hanging in their taking the beating and flaring back with a stiff posture...=/ and it all dark in green and black fins like what you would see in fin rot. Hope he makes it...its still eating like it is and is swimming around the same...like swimming upside down and sideways and just floating...but still eating...:eek: pretty odd...and it got some fin ripped but i add stress coat and stress zyme and added salt and left the temp the same...as it was already 88-90 degrees now...
 
well the lil guys is still hanging on tight so i hope he makes it...still doesn't seem to grow...i need more orinos to keep aggression from the lil guy...plus i want my big group of orinos like before =[
