Smaller pima in 4500 gal, ~16"-18"
- Thread starter thebiggerthebetter
- Start date
The two new pima we bought 2 months ago seem problematic with
- a growth rate of only 1/2 of the expected,
- seemingly distorted head / snout shape,
- disproportionately large bulging eyes,
- uneven mucus,
- subtle redness around the pectoral fins and on the underneath of the stomach, and
- overall not a healthy look.
One lost: 7 inches, only grew 2.5 inches in 2 months. The other is the same size, same looks, have every reason to think it'd follow the same fate.

PImas are divas. Here is one gets spooked, I think by the wels, hard to see in the back. For no good reason anyway. About 28 seconds in.
I cannot be sure but since the system-wide fenbendazole treatment, the little pima perked up a bunch.
Mid-March to mid-May: 4.5 to 7 inches
May-July 7 to 8 inches
Aug 8 to 11 inches, as it should have been from the start
