More Histrionica Questions...

[angelfish83]

Menagerie got in a bunch of Rostrata and Histrionica...

I REEEALLY like histies....

Remember my polkadot issue with them munching my angels?

Well, since histies are a bit more sedentary especially once theyre grown up... would the problem be more/less/the same?

Would I have better luck with rostrata or striata?

I really dont like the striata or rostrata's looks... Histies are my favourite I like them even more than clowns...

Can I try it?

Thanks

I saw them this afternoon.

I have one word for you.

Levamisole.

[angelfish83]

I dont follow... whats wrong with them??

[Martin Thoene]

Well.......skinny.

Plus Harold has the histrionica tank tagged NFS. Didn't ask him why, but I suspect the little white spots I saw on various of the histrionica.

You need to look closer.

They all need some TLC.

The striatas are nice though.

I find the loaches always look like they were stranded on a desert island there though....

Won't they be 'acceptable' once they clear up?

The striatas weren't bad but they remind me of a nightmare I had when I was a kid long story...

I didn't mind the other whatchamakallitskionicaz as well...

I really would love to have like 5+ histies though... theyre so cute at 5" and all fat and dumpy and lazy

Oh yeah, absolutely they'll be OK once treated. They come in like that, not Harold's fault.
