Sick Dat
- Thread starter Vitaliy
- Start date
that looks quite messed up somthings has obviously ittitated that fish id look into it if i where you just to be safe
I just picked him up yesterday, he was being picked on in the tank... but I do not trust the LFS to tell me the truth. I also do not think he ate for some time.thamunsta said:
I used some salt on the tank over night and in the morning I went to pick up some guppies for him. I do not plan on making live food his staple diet but I do not think its time to train him to eat whatever I give him using the whole starvation method. He ate right as I dropped them in.
Also going to raise the temp to 85F, raised it from 79-80F to 82F and will raise it to 85F by evening today.
Also I am more interested if anyone can ID what happened to him then suggestions on what to do, they are welcome as well... just IDing is the priority.
heat and salt works wonders hope he gets better what are ur tank spec and other tank mates by the way?
He (Dat is about 4") is being in a 55 gallon right now, sharing it with a larger Red Devil (6-7") and a small Convict (Convict is like 1.5"). Once his stuff heals up he'll be moved to 75... until he will outgrow that.dialphantom said:
No the Red Devil is not bothering him nor the Convict! Which is weird because the Devil has managed to kill a Black Belt and a Flowerhorn of his size, and just last week I had to remove a Jack Dempsey that Ive tried to keep with him because it looked like he was going to kill it if I left it there. He seems to like the Convict, not one scratch on him! And he did not even care when I dropped the Dat in there. :22_yikes:
I have tried that when introducing the Jack Dempsey. But as far as Blackbelt and a Flowerhorn go, I got all three fish at the same time when all of them were about an inch long.dialphantom said:
