Ur Jardini looks like he's really spotted in the fins. He'll definitely grow into something awesome if u feed him right.
What a bummer I reckon your correct on that one not much else could have caused that , sometimes fishkeeping can be a nightmare all part of the learning curve of the hobby I suppose :banghead:Oh yeah Evz, I forgot to mention... I lost my previous jar aswell. I did a small water change then left to go out to dinner. When I got back he was upside down gasping for air. I'm guessing he hit his head on something - maybe the support brace on top of the tank. Was pretty gutted when I came home to that. He was almost 12inches when he carked it.
Thanks. In all honesty, out of the 3 black jars I've seen face to face, mine is the most bland. The (few) others I have seen were almost literally as black as the ace of spades
Still really cool though. I didn't even know they could be found in this color.
There's a thread somewhere on here with a wild caught Saratoga with a black and yellow pattern. Very similar to a koi. It's amazing what's really out there.
