what a whirlwind day.
over here it's mothers day, wife woke up said let's get out of here and go round some fish shops, well happy with that.
so figured we would hit a not so local shop that normally has a selection of fish not always the best but as good as it get round here for the monster stuff. well not sure if it was just today, they were busy or something but it was horrendous to the point it made me complain. normally i'll pass this off as a result of being so busy but it couldn't be. i only went in to look for a new tank and may be grab some bits and bobs or a dither fish or too but i wanted to buy the lot and take them away.
15" male dovii 5-6" possible female one tiny hide and swimming around in at least a week of waste in the bottom
zebra shovelnose same again, but the tank next to it was full of ich.
any way you get the picture, funny how all the main display tank looked awesome and hiding the worse tanks
my daughter messing in the background.
anyway i couldn't take them all but one thing i could take was a fahaka puffer, all stressed out in with a much larger cichlid, surrounded but tanks full of ich and dirt. i have been looking for one but wasn't in a rush as i didn't have a tank for it.
anyway needs must. i got him out of pity and felt for the guy. so got home cleared out my bristlenose breeder 30G, it's nice and mature and a perfect tank to quarantine it in as it's in my sons room and isn't anything fancy. I will be having a move around shortly and will get him in a much bigger tank. but for now it will help to keep an eye on him. oh he is about 3-4".
tank is a bit cloudy as i added more substrate and stuff, also had to add a light as normally keep this tank dark for the bristlenose lol.

. Good on you for saving that fahaka. Be sure to keep us updated so we can see the Monster that he becomes.
