As you can see most of these fish have dorsal deformities that will never correct themselves. Not quite sure what went wrong with these, normally this is a bacterial issue at wiggler stage. I do know this pair was having issues with batches prior to this one dieing before going free swimming, and they did get a PP treatment two days prior to spawn and the same tank maintenance/ WC routine as the other three batches. I haven't plucked the belly sliders from the tank as the parents are terribly protective still and its such a small batch I am not pressed to do so. On the plus side there are a few good fry in the mix. Soon I will be pulling the tefe to breed to another female of the same F1 batch this female came from.
