1)fridmani has an "egg-like sac" dragging from anus area. Clowns are giving chase, apparently they think they're eggs too and want a nibble. This makes it very difficult to get a good look, impossible to get a picture since "he's" hiding in rock-holes.
2) the "growth" is new. I saw "freddy" yesterday and had no sign of the "egg-sac". Freddy's been in the system for 6 months, spent 45 days in qt like everyone else undergoing a round of each: hypo-salinity, copper, maracyn 1 & 2.
3) 5 days ago I added blu mushrooms, 3 shaving brushes, and 12 turbo's - acclimation but no QT.
4) no specific water readings for you, checked last week, will do a full range test tomorrow and update this thread.
5) this fridmani has always had a "pregnant" looking belly. When I first got it I thought it might be dropsy but after the QT cycle I assumed it was just the specimens' normative physique.
6)) not sure what I could do even if this was a situation where "freddy" should be treated in a qt - the only way to get this fish out of the DT is to completely strip every last hiding space out, and i might kill more than I'd save in doing it. This is why I do a pretty "heavy-duty" QT cycle... Grrrr
6) HELP!
