the amount of time you give your new fish to adjust to their new water conditions can be the difference between whitespot or no whiespot
so not necessarily the shops fault
have you checked the fish still instore to see if they have it also?
your horses will do it again
a taller tank will help
it took me 3 goes to start getting some through
good to seen you are keen to try again
perseverance will win the day

looking at the cere that is a possibility
it is hard to pick on pieds with a lot of white around head area
as some males in that colour line never develop a blue cere
when young it had a pink cere which is an indication of a male
and a more outgoing personality than the rest
females talk as well just not as much as males, time will tell
thanks fruju
got caught with my pants down :oops:
too much work not enough workers
it is all spotless now
tanks take up 2 hours a day and during the holidays it is hard to find 2 hours
the crusts off your toast, sweetcorn, a little broccoli, silverbeet, grass seed heads
willow, fruit tree branches to chew on, rose buds, apple cores
keep on offering bits as there preference can change as the get older
tweetie is no more
he's fallen to the paw
gone down that maw
and sylvester does gnaw
tis a tale of gore
that hurt me to the core
he used to be to the fore
now remembered in folklore
from the days of yore
positive ID of silvestris catus can be confirmed by the teeth having remnants of yellow feathers in them, they also emit bubbles that when they reach the surface and pop the words "suffering soccatash" can be heard
i agree the ID is questionable but who can be really be 100% positive from a photo
i agree it does look like a koi tortoiseshell but i think sending a piece of the tail away for analysis is the only way to be completely sure
