Hello,
a while back I bought a group of wildcaught hystrix. I lost 3 of the 7 in the first week I had them. In the meantime we are 1,5 months further down the road and everything seemed to be going fine with the remaining hystrix untill this evenening.
I noticed earlier today that a female wasn't feeling really well. Not active and darker than the rest. She was buried in the sand though.
When I looked in the tank again about an hour ago, I noticed that her disc started curling. So I immediately prepared another tank for her to keep her apart from the rest. This failed miserably as when I put her over she curled so bad that the disc sides almost touched each other. I put her back immediately in the tank she was in in the first instance and it looks a bit better now, but still curled.
While I was moving her I noticed that she has some infection. When she was still active 2 days back, I didn't notice it.
here are some photo's of when I moved her. Can anyone identify this and advise me what to do?
This really sucks as I have a load more potamotrygons and I have no problem with them. Since day 1 I got this group it has been trouble with these. So I am beginning to wonder what I am doing wrong
