Hi,
Im cycling my tank with 6 unidentified fish. I did see what they were called but i forgot soon after. They are about one to two inches long, silver body, red belly and red back section of body with a black tail. Il try to get a pic tomorrow.
One of them has a nasty red sore just behind his gills and he looks abit sad, spends most of his time at the back of the tank in a dip in the gravel. One of the other fish keeps swimming over to him to see how is doing (which i thought was quite cute)
They are going back to the shop on friday, im only using them to cycle the tank before i put the red bellies in, but just wondering if maybe one of the other fish had nipped him and he was just slowly recovering? hes one of the smaller ones, about 1.5inches long and one of the larger fish likes to chase the other ones and maybe was abit aggressive towards him?
he came out of his hiding place today for a swim around so i think hes recovering.
any ideas?
What is worrying is that you are taking them back to your lfs to be sold on to an unsuspecting customer after using them and subjecting them to a cycling tank. Not good.
