hmmm... I bought a male tux from a breeder on TradeMe. It was sight unseen as I asked on one of her fry auctions if she had any nice male tuxs of breeding age.
She listed a 6 month old tux and I got my husband to pick it up on the way home from work.
Well he has a lovely big red tail but I'm not happy with the way he looks , sort of like a humpback and he swims wobbly. He has a fat tummy too. But other than the wobbliness he is active, eating, chasing the girls. When he is still his back half hangs down.
Also , I think he is way older than 6 month, he seems very large and has a lot of white colouring on his back. Just doesn't look young to me.
Not sure what to do with him now , he was supposed to have come from a healthy tank so if it's not disease... it must be genetic?
Are any offspring likely to inherit this deformity (it's not major buy noticeable) I don't particularly like him but can't just throw him out either!
Any ideas on the cause? ... or anyone want to take him off my hands?
