Re: 150 Gallon Tanganyikan Tank

Interesting update:

I have been too busy to do a great deal with the tank as far a working on treating the fish with the ?fungus? next to its eye. I added some aquarium salt to the water a couple days ago. I went this morning to set up a 30 gallon QT tank for the Ectodus, but when I looked at the fish, the growth had shrunk considerably. Not wanteing to strees the fish out any more than I have to (and because I don't really know what it is), I have elected to continue with the salt treatment. Hopefully the growth will disappear in another 7-10 days at this rate.

Re: 150 Gallon Tanganyikan Tank

It was kinda disgusting looking for a while. My wife didn't want to look at it.

I am glad, and somewhat surprised, by his recovery.

That is great news Tim!  Completely weird, but whatever...take what you can get, right?

Too bad we'll never really know what that bump is/was.... :?

Re: 150 Gallon Tanganyikan Tank

The Ectodus has healed to the point that I wouldn't know anything was wrong had I not seen him a week earlier. Guess we'll never know.

Re: 150 Gallon Tanganyikan Tank

Yes Geoff, everyone seems 100% now. Part of me want to find some more Ectodus somewhere, but I am very hesitant to because I have already had such a bad experience with them.

Buy some that have been sitting in acclimation for a good amount of time.

Re: 150 Gallon Tanganyikan Tank

And where is that?

Re: 150 Gallon Tanganyikan Tank

I seen some the other day on one of the online retailers over on cichlid-forum.....when the boards get slow I usually browse through all of the price list so which one exactly slips my mind but I saw it available on one of them and it was a reoccurring thing meaning I saw it listed as available for some time now.

Re: 150 Gallon Tanganyikan Tank

Found one of them.

BlueChipAquatics.

He has them for $24 I believe and there are 16 available which also make for the box count which entitles you to like 20% off.
