Any updates on how your jellies are going Smuggz?

Thought so

Hi welcome Were you the reptile guy at the pet expo by any chance?

Awesome I got one as well but Bruticus sadly past away about away about a week after I got him. &c:ry I'm not sure why he seemed healthy, was eating live mosquito larvae and was active but nope he died . RIP Bruticus. When our house has been fixed I'll hopefully get another one. :bounce: What are you feeding your one?

WOW :cophot: :nfs: !drool:

I've seen this happen before in a group of about 70-100 young guppies that I had bred (no direct relation to imports that I know of). Their eyes and body seem to darken slightly- as you can see in the last photo of the one resting on the bottom, they get the shimmies, clamped fins and flick themselves periodically, they rest on the bottom of the tank or on a leaf and they don't really gasp as such but they sort of have their mouth hanging open a bit also like in the last photo of the guppy resting at the bottom. But strangely they still ate food as they did normally. I have no idea how this "mystery" disease was introduced into my tank as no other fish had been introduced or plants/ornaments. Ammonia, pH etc was normal. I tried treating with salt, meth blue Wonder Tonic stuff, increasing temp, water changes, changed some of filter media etc nothing worked, every single one died over about two weeks :tears: (there was no other species of fish in the tank). So good luck and I hope you find a cure to this, keep us posted as I'm interested to find out if it affects other fish and if there indeed a cure if it ever happens to me again.

I Hate Smugglers :an!gry

I have exactly the same tank and light. I find the lighting really good and bright and plants grow great as well so it might just be that you need to change the bulb because its getting too old.

:nilly: :happy1:

Thanks , I think Ill leave out the ottos and just have the puffer. And I have a separate little tank to breed the snails in so Ill just feed them as many as they can eat at once. What size tank did you have your puffers in? Cheers
