Rainbow the jd has settled in really really well, dispite the battering he took from Duce at Matts house the 2 are inseperable here Rainbow is eating well, last night it was brine shrimp with garlic & omega 3 (give him a boost to help him heal) this morning a mix of cichlid pellet, spirulina, and bloodworm pellet. The bloodworm seems to be his favorite. The only thing is he is going to have to learn to eat a bit faster unless I can get him to hand feed.
Most of his wounds are nothing I am overly worried about although a large chunk of his tail and pectoral fins are missing and are frayed. I have noticed the tinyiest bit of fungus on one of the wounds (and I mean tiny) so as a precaution I have added some Myxazin last night. He did go very dark in colour last night, almost black all over which made me worry a little. This morning his colour is not bad, still a little dark, but at least I can see his other colours now too. The kids think he is great as he is very interactive with them when they go to the tank, he doesnt seem shy at all.
The other tank mates are thankfully leaving him alone apart from the odd charge at him there has been no biting or nastyness even Harry (red spot sev) has headbutted him very gently. The only one Rainbow seems scared of is Jethro (big plec) when Jethro comes by he hides on the surface on his side and plays dead, I am sure he will get use to Jethro soon though.
