discus_boy Posted September 30, 2007 Report Share Posted September 30, 2007 hi My pair or red turquoise snake skin had babies and hatched them and were going great the babies were a few weeks old, when the tank started leaking heavily and i had to move the parents and the babies. but when I moved them the babies died within 12 hours. but now my male and female are fighting when ever i put food in and I am very worried. and i think the male was angry that they didn't raise there babies and is blaming it on the female. can someone please help.

BK Posted October 1, 2007 Report Share Posted October 1, 2007 Don't worry they'll sort it out. Make sure you have a lid on the tank as they can jump when fighting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qichai Posted November 1, 2007 Report Share Posted November 1, 2007 Try 0.3 % of sea salt in the water and rise temp to 34 degrees for 3-4 days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tHEcONCH Posted November 2, 2007 Report Share Posted November 2, 2007 Try 0.3 % of sea salt in the water and rise temp to 34 degrees for 3-4 days. What? Don't ad meds or fiddle with the temp because they are fighting, just re-establish their tank and wait for them to sort it out. If they have bred then they are a true pair and most likely just 'testing' each other as part of their courtship. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BK Posted November 2, 2007 Report Share Posted November 2, 2007 Your could try Aquaflavine, not really a med more of a tonic. Helps to claim them down, some Dutch and Greman Discus breeders use it all the time I've read. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When fish breed some of them are very stressed. 0.3% of salt water would help them to settle. or some VB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect doing that might make you feel better, but not the fish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qichai Posted November 2, 2007 Report Share Posted November 2, 2007 0.3 % is very comfortble for fish, the reason behind this is called osmoregulation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
