Well most of you know what I've been dealing with, all the fish that have passed due to what I believe was a horrible onslaught of Columnaris and the breakdowns of my tank, re homing, QTing etc...etc...etc...
Well no deaths to report for 2 weeks now and I slowly turned the heat up to about 73 degrees over the weekend. And over the week I'll bring it back up to about 76-78.
Anyway everyone looks good and nobody is showing.
So.... After all this!! All the deaths and suffering and all of you that have helped me keep my head up. All of you that have been behind me and offering your advice and caring enough to ask and some of you even PM'd me!! Some even texted me!!
Well I have news!!
BABIES!!! Yup!! How?! Through all that? The salt 2x a day, the Maracyn plus the Maracyn Two the lowered temps!!
And I come home tonight to find these little black fish swimming around hiding in the driftwood!! They look like my Moorii how can that be? I only have one and everyone was dying!! How did they get so big without me even knowing? The water changes. Some have made it. I tried to get pictures and will continue to! I'm so pumped! Now if I only knew the mother or father.
One question. What would a Cichlid look like if it was holding? One of my yellow labs the chin is puffed out like its mouth is full of food. It's creeping around the back and peeking out of one of the caves. I'm gonna try and get a picture of her too!!
I still can't believe this.
Sorry for the bad pics. If you look close you can see the black Cichlid under the leave in the driftwood.
