ok so after a ****ty loss 2 weeks ago, i wasnt gonna give up. I picked up this pup that was with 5 other retics, got this one because it doesnt seem lik a retic. What u guys think? Only got a camer phone rit now so this is the best i can do.

After almost 2 hours of dripping, I decided to check the water just for the hell of it and the ammonia was .25ppm so I was a little worried and got him in the tank as fast as possible. Once he got into the tank he was just breathing really hard and not eating. All last night he was swimming up the glass almost trying to get out for hours and hours. Did a 25% wc last night and a 50% wc today now w/ salt and higher temp. Got him live bw today and hes all over it and im glad bout that.

The only thing im worried about is that he curls the front of his disc alot, its not big but makes an arch almost and hes doin it while eating sometimes.

Also he came in the end of his tail was very thin/white and falling off, now the end fell off and if u can see from the pic its still white now.

Tail of a retic, patterning of a humerosa.

Yeah - tails don't grow back unfortunately. Around here anyway, it is rare for them to come in with full tails. Sometimes have better luck with very small rays, but the large ones almost always have some damage.

Red wrigglers in the photo? Is she eating yet?
