Number of downloads: 0I saw this little girl and I thought she was so unusual I had to have her. I have had a male for about a year that I adore. She has just as much personality as he does. I am glad I have her but would like to know more about her. Any comments are welcome. Thanks!!! |

Thanks
they are very addictive and it's surprising how many tanks you CAN squeeze into a small house  Have you got any pics of your little boy too? |

I was worried about that big belly but she'll fit right in with all my other fat pets! lol Is that a male in your pic? What a beautiful fish.

Great close up shot.....she's obviously not camera shy
She may colour up a litte more as she settles in and is more relaxed in her new home. But she's a very pretty girl

Hi
Firstly.....great pics Your male looks very much like it has some kind of fungal type infection and really needs treating before it worsens I would use myxacin and combine it with frequent water changes. Some people use aquarium salt alongside treatments as it can improve the effects of the treatment you are giving Cant really tell from the pic what he is.....need a side on view P.S. Just seen your 2nd pic.......he's a VT P.P.S I'm gonna look his problem up and get back to you
