Aquarium Advice Addict
1) Neon Swords, 1 female, 1 male. First 1/4-1/3 of the tail has started to show a scale color pattern. No sign of loss of appetite or growths. Fish seem healthy and female is spawning about every 3-4 weeks. Tail shows no signs of rot and looks very healthy.
2)All tank conditions are perfect. No ammonia, no nitrites, trace nitrates, temp range from 75-80 night to day. Ph unknown.
3) 10 gallon tank set up for over 6 months, have taken samplesof water to local pet store and they have never found any problems with water inculding checked 4 days ago.
4) Underground filter with 2 stack running almost full bore, lots of water movement.
5) 3 adult swords, 5 neon tetras, 1 large and 3 small trilineatus, 1 albino cat, 1 panda cat, 12 or so baby swords, 1 unknown fish (some kind of tetra i think)
6)Water changed March 23rd, 17th, 12th, 3rd. Gravel vaccumed each time.
7) Had both fish for over 4 months.
8) Nothing different added than normal salt and aquasafe after each water change.
9) Food is a mix of many different foods from Nutrafin max to all other flakes and small pellet foods that come in aquarium setups. Frozen blood worms have been given for only about 10 days now. Swords eat as many as they can handle before the corys get to them or the smaller fish get them. Bloodworms only given every 3 days so they have only had them 4 times including today, March 23rd.
I am hoping this is just a positive color change due to the bloodworms being added to their diet. If this could be a disease, please help as my swords are producing beautiful babies with black patches over on eye and the colors are really amazing coming from a male neon, female neon and a red female with black fins.
