Neilanh, got mine from Rick's in Frederick, he has some pretty decent stock that I watched over a few weeks, they are a slow mover for him. So far so good, they colored back up immediately, and are running around with blood red faces.

Are the Praecox adults from Robert, Neilanh? Noticing the white lips - mine did that too, and I'm having a lousy time with them.

Yeah, what's with the white lips? Any ideas?

The adult praecox I got 2-3 months ago from Victor. Not sure if he got his from Robert or not. I do have 3 fry from Robert, compliments of your plants, that are doing well.

I thought ammonia burns at first, since mine were bagged for some time.

Now, not so sure. I know Robert doesn't use CO2, and I don't think Viktor does either.

I treated mine, in the big tank - boy was that fun! - all visible signs left, and then one by one, they'd start swimming top of the tank, 3-4 days later, dead. Few days goes by, another starts cruising the top. Almost all are dead now, replaced with local stock which are doing much better.... and I think a male died last night, and I can't find a body, grr.

Hmm, I haven't noticed any odd behaviour. The white seems to come and go too, I can't figure out what's causing it.
