Pics - Almorhae / Clowns
Another try at the camera again. Getting better with the settings. These pics are of my "pup" tank a Bio-Cube 30 with Tiny Almorhae and Clowns - 2" or less. They all seem to be doing very well.
Thanks for Looking!

Andyroo - that little spot looks the same as what you were describing in your post??? That is my fattest one in that tank, I really hadn't noticed it as something I would call a bubble. He acts and eats normal - I will give it a closer look.andyroo wrote:The wee spot/bubble btwn the #1 and #2 black stripes, @ lateral line just behind gills. That's the one in question (in another post) ?
I must try a small tank set-up.... this looks great.
Thanks!

mine seems a little smaller then that one, certainly a little skinnier, and the "bubble" is a good deal more distinct/bigger. Mine's also eating very well and putting on a lot of girth, if not length as well. I'm crossing my fingers that it's either nothing serious/out of the ordinary or something that good husbandry can grow her through.

A few of these were skinnies that I took a chance on, they are all showing improvement. I can sort of see a slight raised area like you describe, not sure if it is something to be too concerned with. Doubt there is anything we could do about it from the link I read on your posting. All mine are gaining weight and looking better.andyroo wrote:mine seems a little smaller then that one, certainly a little skinnier, and the "bubble" is a good deal more distinct/bigger.

Lets hope for the the best and keep them filled with the high quality foods.
Let me know if you discover anything new on the condition.
Thanks Again!!

I bought the only one on-island to build up a school over the summer... but all i've seen since (one and one) have had the same little dimple/bubble problem(?).
I'm loath to spend 30 bucks a-pop on tiny clowns if they're already done-fore, so this little one will have to dither with non-clowns until i can safely say that this is not a terminal situation. The list suggests 2-3 months. Meanwhile the search for non-bubbled continues.
Fingers crossed, yes, and i'll keep you posted.

Don't you dare think about doubling up on the food Val!:evil: Your "babies" will try anything to trick you into thinking they are starving. A little goes a long way, and it is good to send them off to their cave without dinner once a week too.FishyLady wrote:Oh these are lovely pics, really nice and clear, must be a good camera you have!! I wonder how much these fish eat in the wild? would they grow bigger faster if we fed them twice as much??

Remember - Wild loaches get a 100% water change every 10 seconds - they are capable of eating more without poisoning themselves.
