Rhinogobius Zhoui Log

That's rough Nick. Sad to hear but looks like you're on the right path now. Hope you stopped the infestation in time before the other Zhouis got the parasites. Are you still treating them?

Yes still treating the tank. Once you start meds never stop till it is done...

Yes I dissected the dead ones no sign of parasites but the damage was already done...

[SunnyHouTX]

Ps: did you dissect these as well?

Alright I am the first to admit when I have failed and I have failed big time. Lost two more last night and another one isn't looking good. I sold six of them to a neighbor his wife wanted them and he was willing to pay what I was wanted. Of the six left from the second batch I got and didn't sell only one or two left...

I was to impatient and was told that these fish were not very good quality by the seller. But I didn't care I still wanted them and I am now learning the hard way...

So I am left with the two big males from the first order and two or three smaller fish from the second order it is hard to count since they are all hiding right now. I will get a better head count later. But I don't really want to look lol. I might order some more females if I can or switch to a cheaper more common species of Rhinogobius... Or just stick with loaches lol

Good news is all my hill streams and panda loaches are alive and well and growing fast!

It was actually reasonable. 8 bucks I think for a whole pack of cubes?

That FG spirulina/brine/mysis mix is awesome! Only thing my fish love more than that is the PE frozen mysis.

FG?

[sunkenmetal]

I feed mine spirulina brine and frozen mysis. They laugh at flake (I've heard them!) and they will taste a pellet then spit it out. As for meds, I use prazipro for parasites with a small amount of bifuran to speed the healing.

What kind of Rhinogobius do you have?

Excellent news Nick.

Yea they are still breathing fast but are a lot more active and hunting shrimp. I just thought they were still stressed from the trip over here and being in a tank. But when two died something was up...
