Scuba Sam Posted July 8, 2008 Report Share Posted July 8, 2008 Your severums may not eat for a while - I have had three sev's so far, and all have sulked and not eaten for a while when they arrived, one even when he was in the same tank with the same tank mates - he just missed his old Mum. I have had spots like you describe, and with keeping the water changes up, they just came right. Fingers crossed. Another thing to consider is the pH of your water. I managed to get my first sev to eat by dropping the pH. I put in a piece of wood and added some evil ph Down chemicals. I wouldn't necessarily change the pH at the moment, but just something to consider in future if things don't settle. Good luck - they are awesome fish. Mine are now in my bedroom, and to see them sleeping is the funniest thing!! Sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Afrikan Posted July 8, 2008 Report Share Posted July 8, 2008 Good stuff Dubbo, didn't think it looked like whitespot, I know of the blemish things you are meaning, very common, and yes can end up smudgy looking after they disappear.. seen it on rather a few larger cichlids... usually fish that have clear/see through tails and finnage..
