Some new fish ordered from Tangled Up In Cichlids and Don Conkels Tropicals.
6" Manguenese, 3" Trimac, 8" Fem Festae, 6" Male, 4.5" Friedrichstahlii & 3" RTM from TUIC. Female Festae is from Jeff from Nov 2007, rest are this weeks deliveries.
7" Barred Midas, 3" Haitiensis, 8" Carpintis 'lahillas', 5" Dovii are from DCT earlier this month.
3 questions:
What are the white lines that look like scrapes on almost every fish? Is that a lateral line that is there on most fish?
Which is the male Friedrichstahlii?
What is that on my female Festaes face? It might just be from the flash because its almost impossible to see that without it, but all the fish are starting to try and rub on the rocks and sand...as you can see none of the other fish have signs of the white stuff on their faces. A friend that has kept fish for 20+ yrs said it looks like ich with a bacterial infection. Any suggestions?
The mangunese is in a hospital tank. She was in bad shape from the trip so shes bathing in melafix.
All 22 dithers (tetras & dannios) disappeared in one night last weekend.
BTW, the Haitiensis is the smallest in the tank and will take on anyone. He has teeth marks from someone having him half in their mouth...and doesnt seem to care in the least. Those suckers are fearless!
