hey guys, long time, no post ive been away studying endangered turtles, but now im back!
okay so ive had my columbian shark for about 2 1/2 - 3 years. a big, healthy gal named noodle. i had started with two columbians, but addie (the other one) comitted suicide about 5 months ago. noodle had gotten real lonely lately, and i had been wanting to get her a new friend, but couldnt find a columbian even close to her size, or healthy for that matter. well finally i found one, about 3 weeks ago, who was barely a little smaller than noodle and plump and healthy. so i took buddha (named for her fat, jolly look) home and the two fell in love happy story? welll....it had been.
just today, overnight, buddha has developed frayed fins, from stress im assuming. the water parameters are perfect, and noodle is as healthy looking as can be. they have plllleennttyy of room to swim, and to stay away from each other, and a place to hide. any ideas on what i can do other than seperate the two? i really want to get buddha healthy again, and have the two getting along. (but of course i have no control on their feelings for each other)
thanx guyz
