Why the would you prefer the balloons? They are just a mutated/deformed inbred strain of the normals and i dont think they look that great either, i have some but they dont look very nice and they arent getting along with my fish.
I saw some golden balloons today selling as normal goldens at animates, they know nothing. At the same time i saw one of the guys working there sell a bright blue cobalt blue Gourami as a female. :-?
Now i have:
1 Hoplo- going to get 1 or 2 more
Breeding group of BN- 2male 4 female
1 common pleco
3 sterbai cory-getting more soon
2 albino cory-getting more soon
2 lg6 whiptails
Also soon am getting some bronze and peppered corys and a few gba.
It has been done, they just need to be the first tank inhabitants and start at 18 degrees and go up 1 degree every day or 2 till about 25/26 then start adding other fish.
I dont actually have testkits at the moment, So i will keep up daily Waterchanges till i can get it tested, The cardinals are supposed to be moving to their own tank this week.
I had asked in a a pm for them to ship a couple to me for live axolotl food, i wouldnt release them but still, I have changed the PM. so none wll be coming down this way
I have a group of 6 Cardinal tetras in 70L community tank.
They have been fighting(chasing and a little biting) recently with each other and the 2 red phantom tetras.
I have just notices white marks on the sides of 2 cardinal and it looks like a couple scales sticking out, COuld this be a result of fighting or something worse?
