suggest you keep your fh in solo coz those stress marks won't fade. those stripe marks are sign your fh are stress with his company.
he's in with 2 RTGG's, p. bass, clown knife, and a TSN. he kept fighting with my p. bass so i put up a seperater. so now it's just him. the stripes have been on this guy for weeks (been eyeing him at the fish store for almost a month, before i bough him. he was kept by himself,hidden (one of the employees was saving it for himself). all the other FH that he came in with had the telltale faint stripes. but this guys stripes really stand out. he's buy himself so i'll give it a couple days to see if they fade.
Man does it erk anyone else when the pictures are so big that you have to side scroll the screen to read posts? Irfanview on download.com it is free and easy for resizing pics. Please.
Might be stress coz it's in a tank with larger fish. What size is it? ZZ strains of Fhs breed very early, even at just the juvenile stage and barring is one sign that it may be ready to breed. Do you feed it with live food? Feeding with live food sometimes hastens the breeding process in Fhs.
