Female Covict Missing her whole Tail Help..

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Put her in a container of water and put the container in the freezer. Fish will never make it. Convicts don't belong in a tank with dovii or wolf fish.
I had my pair housed with the dovii for atleast 1.5years. The purple wolf is very passive and unless harrassed by them. And why would put it in my freezer. The fish would suffer either way.

Yup, I agree with cockroach, you answered your own question. THE DOVII


Doviis and wolf fish should never be in with black convicts! Dovii's are one of the meanest cichlids.


Freezing is NOT a human way to put a fish down....

Clove oil

although i have a female convict who is with out a tail..shorter than yours is but i think she was injured when she was a tiny fry.

Sorry Kai. If you do put down, sedate with clove oil (emulsify) , then add vodka. The fish will not suffer. If you do try to save it, best of luck. Do not feel like a jerk. You are a cool dude with a good heart. Just learn from your experiences early on. Tell you what, if this little fella doesn't make it through, I have that female convict I kept from a couple of batches ago. Believe it or not, it is coloring up amazingly at a little over 2"s. I will give her to you for free. :)

Yeah clove oil would be better then the freezer. I think will try to save her but if she does not make it.Then i would gladly see that little female. And if you want i have a Amphilophus trimaculatus that is the same size. :D thanks for positive feedback :)
 
still cant find it....found a few threads on AC about it..most people from what i have read have treated with Malfex? and lots and lots of clean water.
