Unfortunately not long after my most recent post things started to go downhill. What’s crazy is this situation almost directly paralleled what happened with my paradise gourami. This sudden lethargy in the fish, followed by pineconing which I can only assume as dropsy. For well over a week I was doing daily waterchanges, Epsom salt baths. No success. That makes 2 anabantoids I’ve lost, both in similar situations. I’ve decided I’ll be leaving the anabantoids for another time.Hey, how's the mahachai doing, did u end up getting a female? He's looking good in these photos
In all honesty I was super bummed out about the whole thing, and still am. I’m responsible for these animals so losing one is a big deal to me.
The 10g had been empty until fairly recently as a mater of fact. Was even considering putting it up in the attic for the time being, but on a whim I decided I might try out some endlers. Haven’t had issues with any livebearers the past couple years and I’m glad I did, cause they’ve been great.
