killifan Posted October 29, 2004 Report Share Posted October 29, 2004 one of my blue dwarf gouramis developed the fluffy fungis disease on its head. Treatment with Tonic has fixed the fungus, but his forehead (?) has lost his blue scales and he has a dark strip across his head from gill to gill. Is this a by product of the fungus? Wil he regrow blue scales? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livebearer_breeder Posted October 29, 2004 Report Share Posted October 29, 2004 i have had a similair thing happen to some of my livebearers, treated them and took a few months for there colour and scales to return, i wouldnt worry if the fish is alright now? if there anything like my fish then you should be right!

killifan Posted October 29, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2004 thanks, I might try a little female for him then! Is there any reason why a juvenile male swordy would 'pick' on this gourami? He doesn't bother the Honey one at all. but didn't like either of the blue ones.

livebearer_breeder Posted October 29, 2004 Report Share Posted October 29, 2004 thats intresting, my geuss would be he is either showing off, or has too much testosterone at the momment, hes probably jst trying to prove himself??? not to sure? i no that livebearers will pick on sick fish! i would suggest moving the juinvile or giving him away or swapping for somthing?

Phillz Posted October 29, 2004 Report Share Posted October 29, 2004 I just got a male swordtail, would they rumble? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livebearer_breeder Posted October 29, 2004 Report Share Posted October 29, 2004 only if there wernt enough females to go round, if they are on there own shouldnt be a problem, but platy become infertile quite fast if they dont "exercie" if you gte my drift Shae 250 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phillz Posted October 29, 2004 Report Share Posted October 29, 2004 I have no females as yet.....in the tank I have 4 WCMM, 2 small cats, 1 tiny pleco, and 1 male swordtail...... what colour is your male? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killifan Posted October 29, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2004 He's quite pretty! Has an orange 'flush' over his back from dorsal fin to tail, similar shading on his belly from anal finn backwards. Has a red stripe horizontally through his middle line and shiny blue 'flashes' in the in between area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
