I don't think it's fighting, not that I have seen anyway, but I have just sold the other large female from the tank so it's just her and a male. So far so good. No major improvement but no worse either.

This hasn't been very fast developing, I first noticed a slight amount of red in its mouth a few weeks ago. It actually looked slightly better today so I decided to give it a salt bath and see how it goes. Hopefully it continues to improve.

Thanks Adrienne, I'm not sure that is the same but it could be. I spoke to the vet today and I am going to try to drain it and take them a sample to test. Hopefully it is something treatable.

Just got this pic, the dark spots on the side of the mouth appear to be filled with blood, and starting to spread through its face. Any help appreciated. Thanks

My female royal whiptail has what looks like blood in its lips & mouth, it has now started to spread slightly. It is worse after it eats and doesn't seem to change with different foods. It is still active and eating but not quite as active as normal. No other fish affected. Does anyone have any suggestions for treatment? sorry can't manage to get a pic of it yet.

Try some flourish excel or CO2. You might have excess of nutrients but no carbon source.

Can anyone please help me ID this male whiptail? (please excuse the dirty glass) Length approx 180mm + whips Sturisoma Festivum http://www.planetcatfish.com/common/spe ... ies_id=829 or Sturisoma aff Festivum http://www.planetcatfish.com/common/spe ... es_id=1933 or something else

I have Electric Blue Acaras if you are still interested.

They were sold by Phil Collis, not sure what the blacks were but not royals, the whites were lancelota I think.

Yep L142. How are yours going?

Last time I measured biggest 22cm and smallest 17cm, hopefully they keep getting bigger.

Just spotted these 3 together and managed to get a pic (phone quality sorry).

Are the any L130 in NZ? They are not something I have heard of being here.

Looks awesome, I will have to come and have a look sometime. I do miss the little damsel.

I found the Hagen/ Glo tubes very good, huge improvement from stock tubes.
