Wow there got such intense colours and have great shape. One question in the last pic i noticed a white like sore at the bottom of the fish with red around the outside of it. Is it a sore or is just a marking sorry if i'm wrong :oops:

One other thing when you Quartined them did you treat them for anything or just looked for illness?

Good work should be very proud as they look awersome.!

Hi Samir,

Very nice fish mate, best of luck with them all ... hopefully a pair or two will form ;)

Rick, that looks like its the fishes markings from what I can tell mate. Imported fish in Q are usually observed for a 2 week period and only medicated if required. All samir's fish look very healthy HTH.

Cheers,

Dee.

the pair is marlboro and the smaller ones are red melons (thats what the invoice said). the small ones are about 10-11 cm, the pair looks like around 15-16 cm. i had asked for glss/or something good quality, and this is what i got :?

its a divided 3X2 with a sponge and heater on either side. cant say i've had any luck with it. the reds have spawned again and the bd's should spawn tomorrow, hope things work better this time.

i had 5 wrigglers from the reds. Aren't I a champion breeder ??? :evil: Henceforth my name is to be mentioned in the same breath as Jack Wattley. :roll: or even better just call me Mr Wattley Jr.
