I'll give her another bath, I'm going to put her into the main tank.
Right I'll try the Epsom salts just to be sure, can Epsom also help with worms at all?
I'll have to order something or either pick some up on Sunday, Friday I'm at college and on Saturday I'm at a powerlifting competition, as for meds, are they reliant on brands? Or could I get any and it should do the trick?
Also, what's the youngest age a fish can breed, my two black moores are chasing and bumping, one has gotten fatter and the other one doing the chasing does look like he's getting these white tubercles that you've both been talking about. There both eating and laying perfectly fine waste, and are active and seem happy. I haven't had them ages though, maybe half a year tops, if that.
Ps. Jamie, I've seen pictures of your fishes on Flickr, bloody gorgeous!
It's fine we all get caught up in things.
Thanks for replying though
I was just thinking though I spent at least 1 whole hour a day watching her hoping for some faeces, that's why I don't think constipation is fully ruled out, but I guess I've done everything I can.
As for her movement she's in the main tank now, not as active and her dorsal fin isn't as high pointed as it was in the other tank, but I think she's just getting used to it.
I fed them some flakes and sinking pellets but had to rush out so I didn't see if she ate or not (probably did).
No chasing or anything yet, just some chilling.
My two loach are now inseparable too and twist around each other, don't tell me more breeding ha ha.
But yeah I trust you know what your doing pip so I'll see how this plans out.
Can you just explain what could be happening again in terms of eggs rotting or something like that? Do you think she's likely to die or is it too hard to tell?
Hmm I can't really tell her body weight/fatness looks like it fluctuates a lot.
I will keep you posted, and I'm based in the uk near hull, in north Lincolnshire.
What about you
Oh good! I love fishing, used to go loads when I was younger! And if possibilities arise then id love too! Especially now that I haven't been in awhile.
Did I forget to mention that when I first moved this fish it was just his belly that was a little bloated, which then eventually led to its belly and also the lopsided area further down its body.
Is this what would normally happen to a gravid female? Due to eggs moving or anything like that?
Right okay thanks I'll try this tomorrow if she's not too restless, should I attempt this at the surface of water (I can lean the net over the side so she would be only just at the surface) or out of water?
And okay thanks, think I'm going to get my old fishing books out again, I miss that sport. Hopefully I can get back into it again by summer.
And please, call me Sam!
I can't pm you anymore Phil, it says you have too many stored messages!
