Gosh, he's beautiful. A testiment to fresh clean water bing the best medicine!
Too many people want to add salt, Melafix, Primafix, etc. But then they don't bother to do big water changes. Great fish and great job.

thanks for the kind words... yes, i would always treat w/ great water quality first... medication should be reserved for last resort.

Good save, he looks great. Try not to make him bite the glass though, as he can break his jaw that way.

Keep us updated!

just watched the video....
watch out.... if he continues banging the glass with that force u might have to buy a new tank!!!!!!!!!


not sure if it was from HITH or some other kind of disease but it was deep.

he only bangs the glass when i tick him off or if he's really hungry. i try to cut down on the finger chasing to one session a day ;)
