Simian Posted April 28, 2008 Report Share Posted April 28, 2008 I was told that they don't do well singly :roll: Anyway I got all 3 for $120, because their whiskers had been nipped (they had better grow back!) which was a pretty good price I thought Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted April 30, 2008 Report Share Posted April 30, 2008 Sorry for your loss Simian. Nice looking fish tinytawnykitten I hope to get some one day when I get a bigger tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johannes Visser Posted April 30, 2008 Report Share Posted April 30, 2008 Sorry to hear that Did you get talked into buying them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simian Posted April 30, 2008 Report Share Posted April 30, 2008 I could say that but it was my choice. I got cocky and ignored my own common sense, nobodies fault but mine. They prob would have been fine if they were dosed with melafix, isolated at the LFS for a week. Then the moving stress wouldn't have knocked em around so much. Hindsight is a wonderful thing....I think I may buy a crystal ball or some Tarot Cards before I buy my next expensive fish....either that or just dont be stupid.

Mad Whip Posted May 3, 2008 Report Share Posted May 3, 2008 You gotta watch pictus they sure like to eat other little fish. But it does meke them grow fast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simian Posted May 3, 2008 Report Share Posted May 3, 2008 All gone now thats $126 down the porcelain express. I got worried about the lone pictus in an agressive tank so I moved him to my Community tank, I had hoped cories would stop him pining until I found a healthy mate for him (ruined a good net in the process). It looks like my sneaky bully is back in action in this tank (ironic that he gets killed after I move him from my SA cichlid tank so he'd be safer) this morning hes is missing most of his tail and he has massive patches of skin missing. I put him down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
