75g planted tank journal

Notice this guy was the only one not eating and then I see this red bump from his belly. It almost looks like it rectum prolapse. Not even sure if it can happen in fish? But anyone has a idea of what it is?



Also after inspecting the fishes, I notice majority of the threadfin have been fin nipped. After some observation, it seems like a few of the rummy nose tetras are guilty of it. What would you do in this case? If I remove them, I worried I might remove the wrong ones.

Also I do not have a quarantine tank yet as I know that is I should do for it.

Anything can nip at fins.

I don't think it is the threadfin either. They can barely fit 0.5mm pellets in there mouth. Unless they attacked in a group. I was thinking it was my filter intake but I have a net covering one and a sponge on the other.

I have threadfin and they are extremely timid. Their mouth is so small that they can barely open it. I doubt it was threadfin

[mistahoo]

Threadfins might have done it.

tail torn off can come from scratching to hard surface like driftwood or nipping problem. You don't seem to have any aggressive fish in your tank though.

Also, I went to sell my fixture, and picked up a temporary one. There was no lights for about 1hr. I left with all the fish okay and then came back to all the rummy nose losing all there color and just sitting at the bottom like if they were in shock again. Can't say that there just sleeping eh? Also during this time period one of the smaller rummy got its tail torn up. Not sure if there connected or not. What do ya think? Water parameters are good.

Thanks for the reminder. I might or might not go. I just got sick, and I don't really want to get others sick too.

Mnememoi is having a get together tomorrow evening if you havent seen that for plant ppl

my dwarf gourami looked red at petsmart, after 2 days in the tank he turns red with dash of turquoise like the one you normally see on google. It's just like that =d... though some other fish turns into really random color because of your lights.

Well, considering that they were close to dying yesterday, I didn't expect them to adapt that quickly.

because your tank has better lighting and set up than their holding tank at FG =d

Rummy nose tetra are doing great. They already develop more color then when I had picked them up!

FG rummies and cardinals for some reason are the most sensitive I've ever seen. Sorry they're not doing so great... Definitely send a PM to Charles or Robert and see if they've got some rummies in stock.

Aww no! That sucks to hear. Thank you again.

Update: Just checked on them, and looks like so far they all are okay. All 13 are schooling together and all 13 red face is coming back!
