the good news is all the others seem fine, so atm i suspect that only the 2 where effected. it seems like it was a brain issue perhaps as the juvi affected had a lump between the eyes. picture to follow

The fish posted above sadly died the same day I was going to cull it. I took a slime sample from the fish and put under the scope, also scoped the actual fish and took gill scrape best I could. Haven't found any external parasites of any kind. I think it was perhaps from when I had them with discus ...

I suspect it's something parasitic causing it. What's the best broad range parasitic treatment for corys?

Thanks for the reply. Yes I've read all I can find on here, doesn't seem to be a remedy.

I've made the decision to cull the fish worse affected.

Very strange tho, other than the little 30second episodes it behaves relatively normal.

(I will cull using clove oil to euthanase humanly) purely to put ...

Hello, for a good while now I've been having issue with my sterbai, basically ever now and then I've noticed one fish in particular but also one or two others will spin very fast uncontrollably, then fall to bottom of the tank on its side. Then returns to normal. (Behaviour wise)

This one fish in ...

That's great thank you for your time

right, sorry, made a right mess of that post.

my aim is to gain a breeding group, dont want any cross breeding or anything. by "random picture" its a picture i found on the internet and this one seems pretty similar to both varieties, just the speckled cheeks separate them to my relatively ...

hi thank you for confirming this :-) sorry about the double post. haven't a clue how or why that happened ill try remove one if i can figure it out.

this fish isn't mine, i currently have standard type whiptails and looking to expand. this is just a random picture and wasn't sure. can the 2 type ...

HELLO THANKS FOR LOOKING, CAN ANYONE CONFIRM THE ID OF THIS FISH PICTURED? IS IT A CHAMELEON WHIPTAIL OR CHAMELEON WHIPTAIL MARBLED SP?

one I've mine always remains jet black and the others go all shades of white/ grey, is that anything to go by also? maybe clutching straws lol

tomoz ill fish em out and take ventral photos

id love to see pictures of these

Believe me I can't wait either, I will be doing my best to obtain another 2-4 of similar size to increase my changes.

What makes u think both females out of interest. I think from what I've seen one male one female maybe I'm blinded by wishful thinking lol

Hi jamesleagas,

They really look nice, and clearly they are gaining weight. :-BD I'm inferring that these three photos are of the same two fish, yes? Compared to your first photos, I can see the thicker bodies in both fish, and I do see some visual difference in the snouts of the two fish ...

What's peoples opinions now, these two clearly imo have different shapes (one has fuller body and shorter snout)

They look very different now they have settled and eating well

Hi recently I aquired 4 young chameleon whiptails, I post pics of them regarding sex but took better pics today one is much fuller in the body than the other and curious for more opinions as to possible sex

They look a bit grey in the pic, when settled in the tank the contrast between black and ...

thats a very good point, i had my corys in the tank before when it was bare and they behaved very odd, swimming up the corners of the tank constantly

wilds can be kept just the same as domestics. I've seen this done by friends loads, all the main discus suppliers in uk that import wilds keep them in the same tanks as domestics on the same systems, bare tanks with hi stocks etc

and imo all discus can be pretty skittish when tanks have low stock ...

the main thing with your tank is its very understocked with discus, u need 8 discus minimum imo for them to behave naturally,wild discus are completely fine in bare tanks providing they have a big enough group (same with domestic)

this is my roma 240 which has very good stock and as u can see the ...

Ok great l, thank you. I'll look into this for my groups of lemons and super Reds

Perhaps my chameleon whips will take to it also

I will send you some pictures Jools, just have to find some time to do that soon ;-) I don't have ventral shots of the males and I really don't want to catch them out right now. They are still very shy and I'm busy trying to convince them to spawn :-)
Good luck, really looking forward to following ...

i keep hearing about rephasy, can someone explain about it and is it any good? is it very polluting and how is it nutritionally for growing fish on and conditioning?

thanks, jimbo

If it helps I Dnt suspect that my fish are in tip top condition as the Lfs would not of been feeding them correctly if they are like most Lfs

Probably lived on occasional prima feedings for the last 6-8 weeks that they've been there.
Hi Jamesleagas, Although the fish in your photo look really ...

i will do exactly that thank you

I'm at work atm so quick repsponse for now, 3 out of the four fish I have seen with white/grey coloration on the head as u can see the one in the pic above

Both the larger ones and one of the smaller ones

I'll be online in the morning and will read and respond properly

Thanks for all the time and ...

What length are yours jac? And how fast do they tend to grow?

They were from a store in Solihul

Thank you for kind words
