Yes i had a fire in the room where she has her tank! A really bad one but tank and fish withstood it, even the can of lightergas exploding and blowing out a window did'nt hurt the tank! She stayed in there, dirty smoked water N all for 2 days, then waterchange, then after 2 days new tank ordered, mo...

Being 30+ cm she's now getting bluemussel and crabclaws once in a while in order to keep her teeth down! Took her bout a day to figure how to open the mussel and i had to help her on the claws, few whacks with a hammer to open it up a bit and get her interested ;-) Its also good to keep her occupied...

Update on Wilmas fin She's been just fine since the outbreak of finrot was repelled Water parameters keeping steady and i still swap round 30-35% a week. Debris from feeding are picked up (and given to the crayfish) and the poop are scooped and flushed :-D She has even regenerated 2-3mm of the fin, ...

Have tried a few and only anubia variants are left intact/uneaten.

Doing the change today, a Day early, 50%

Strange about the waterquality as it reads nothing and my rutines has'nt changed during the 14-15 months i have had her?

Melafix and pimafix ordered

I will order some melafix then..

Any ideas on why she got this?

Coming and going, is it finrot at all?

A little red today, using fin again, acting normal

Still no new red but white ragged edge about to come off, we'll see in 10 hours time, over and out.

Thank you, both wife and fahaka are OK

I think i see some structural? changes in the fin but all red are gone for now?
Comes and greets me when i enter the room and all...

Now, back from the petshop, the affected fin all clear again, no red left, little pale along the edege of fin swimming and behaving normal again. She also ate to thumbsized shrimps today as ferociously as allways i may add

Ph is 7.5-8 which is my tapwater

Kh around 15 which is quite normal here

Cl2 0
NO2 0
No3 10
Gh less than 7

Ya, she's 30cm now

Bout the size i thought i'd like to give more than just the recommended minimum livingspace as i have room for it and an unusually understanding wife

I have to admit i stopped the regular checking of waterparameters around 2 months ago as i ran out and everything had been stable for the past year! Maybe that was my bad. Ill buy new testkit today i i can make it or tomorrow at the latest! Upkeep? I swap the 30+ % of water every week and have done ...

No but could order it from Germany or uk

The thing is i have bad experience with melafix, it didnt work when i used it some time back for other but scaleless fish.

Wilma has got herself a rotting fin! She's making Wild dashes and rubbing the affected fin, her left, against sand and glas. Fortunately theres not sharp items she can poke herself on! Strange thing is, i saw the reddening of the fin and made a few 25% waterchanges over the course of a week and it d...

I was totally aware of the pleco being kind of "food supply" and have laughed at it, BUT the slime sucking deal was NOT a part of my picture!! I red tons online AND what little paper books available, before i got wilma and i have to admit that IF it was there, it was info i missed out on.....
