Last weekend I bought a Juwel Rio 300 complete with all its inhabitants.
I had about a 2hr drive with all the fish and netting the bigger severums I think proved quite stressful for them. I have now set up the tank and all the fish are in. It has a cycled internal filter and the filter media was also kept moist so I'm hoping that plenty of bacteria survived. The fish generally seemed to have settled in reasonably well although the Severums seem to have come off worst. One seems to have a few white dots on both of his side fins as you look from the front and another has a strange white dot which is quite raised up on his eye. He is also quite withdrawn and spends long periods hanging about alone at the top corner of the tank. Does anybody have any idea of what this could be and the best way to treat? I am testing the water tomorrow morning and will change accordingly if there is a problem and post the stats.
Here is a picture of the spotty fins
and here is the sore eye on the other Sev
Any help greatly appreciated...
Cheers, Andy.
