Well, i got the rescued fish i posted about! - Aquarium Advice

fishygurl · 03-15-2006, 01:06 AM

They're gigantic! about 4 or 5 times bigger than my baby fish. LOL. I cant tell very well, because they have no colour but i think they are:

2 bronze cories at mabye 1 1/2 inches
1 serpae tetra 1 inch
1 ?rummy nose tetra? (not sure) almost 3 inches!
4 ?black skirt tetras? actually i think they might be 2 black skirts and 2 of something simalar
1 gold ram, or atleast i think its a gold

Everyone looks fine, except for the gold ram and the rummy nose the ram is just sitting in the corner, but he is 2 years old so i think he might be stronger than one from the LFS. The Rummy Nose has a split in his tail, but it looks like an old injury? Im going to treat with Melafix though. Just incase.

EDIT: Its not a rummy nose tetra its a Buenos Aires Tetra.

EDIT: The black skirts are going crazy! smashing into the walls. ai dont thing its a rummy nose tetra anymore. Ill post a pic tomorrow when i turn the lights back on. The Ram moved a little. Which is a good sign? The others are regaining their colour incredibly fast. The Serpae is bright orange already! The black skirts are showing colour too. Even the ram is brightening up a bit. The PH difference of there tank and my tank is 1. (theres was6 and mine is 7)

could be parasites, possibly?

I noticed that the serpae has a split too. Hmm. Its not finrot or anything i dont think, or mabye they had fin rot and it never grew back. Its a completely clean missing piece, not like the pictures of finrot ive seen. Other stuff to add: Its a bolivian ram i think. They are 4 black skirts. The black skirts are calm now and the ram is becoming quite active the cories like the cave lol.
