Here's my other fish. The panda moor is called Wolfgang, Pearlscale is Mrs Puff and the red cap is Zeus. You'll see from a new pic of Zorro that he's starting to lose his black fin tips as he's growing.
Wow they look great
These are my babies!
A few baby pics! 4 week old moor fry from a jet black butterfly and a tri-color butterfly. Unexpected surprise after returning from vacation!
If u think it is a Moor please let me know! These were the best pics I could get.
Sad news to share all. I came home today to find Wolfgang (panda moor) has died. Very strange as he shown no symptoms of being ill and the water parameters are fine. 0 Ammonia, 0 Nitrite, 40 Nitrate. Tested using API Freshwater kit. (Following instructions correctly). Other fish are fine. Any ideas to what it could have been? I've had him for around 5 months.
Few things are worth considering here. First, have all your fish been prazi'd? Next, what kind of water change schedule do have? 40ppm of nitrate is awfully high for fancies and he if was in nitrate at this level for his life, I would expect some health issues, even demise. Last concern would be diet. What do they normally eat?
Don't know what prazi'd is so doubt it. I change the tank water each week and change around 25-30% of the water volume. I use de-chlorinated water. Their stable diet is sakari hikari sinking pellets, I also feed de-shelled peas twice and a week and blood worms once a week. He shown no illness's associated with Nitrate poisoning (bends etc).
So many lovely fish in this thread!
I can't get a pic worth of him, but I have a moor that is almost entirely orange now except for his black mohawk and lipstick - he looks pretty comical.
