Re:Wild baby RSG
no flames intended....
this fish is a science experiment right?
If we are sincerely trying to raise the standards for general Discus quality then we should tell the truth about fish like the one in the pic and not be flatterers or psychophants.
IMO......it is not a nice discus and I see no potential for anything in it except as a learning experience about what not to buy or how to waste time on a worthless fish. It is small, skinny, beat up and has very large eyes. It may recover somewhat but it will at very best be mediocre in quality.
Just my opinion & I know what they say about opinions.
again. no offence intended...just speaking as I see

Re:Wild baby RSG
Koola David......Yeah, I admitted earlier the poor condition in not-so-many words.
There are many imported-from-the-wild fish that come in like this one I am sure!
Please believe me on this....if it has a chance to develop fully, it is better off with me than a newbie
BTW, the way they are feeding on worms and pellets, I may be able to prove ya wrong LOL.

Re:Wild baby RSG
I've been wrong before ;D
Took this pic today...same fish in different tank, 2 days after previous pic.
I have been hammering WCs and feeding 4 to 5 times a day.
Looks like it may be okay

Re:Wild baby RSG
what happened to the red eye? are you sure it is the same fish?
-
Re:Wild baby RSG
I think so wildthing ...yeah, the eyes on that one do not look red...let me get back with you ;D
Does that last one look acceptable for a couple weeks out of the wild??

Re:Wild baby RSG
Nice work F.D.
Maybe our different opinion from this fish come from our different view from fishes. I like to work with them and I enjoy this work, that is the main rason from this hobby , to enjoy fishes, far away to look only for perfection.That is my opinion, no offence at all.
Congrats F.D.

Re:Wild baby RSG
" we either strive to improve ourselves ( & our fish) or we allow ourselves ( & our fish) to get worse"
IMO perfection is something to aspire to in Discus, otherwise what are all the quality discussions about? what are the shows about & why are different discus different prices? ( all rhetorical)...hence also the title of Jack Wattley's book " Discus for the Perfectionist"
In fact I think that if you don;t strive for perfection with discus ( or any other subject) you will never succeed. Aspiring to mediocrity is not much of a goal.
Some meds will turn red eyes temporarily yellow, fluke tabs ( dylox) for instance.
just my opinion of course...no offence intended.
fishndude I will be interested to see the progress of the fish, but i really think that by the time you have succeeded you will have spent so much time and energy and resources on it that it would have been cheaper to buy another healthier one.

Re:Wild baby RSG
Fishing dude, good job in bringing those wilds back to form.
Keep up the good work.
Granted, we should strive for perfection in all our endevours, but realistically, many of us will just want to enjoy our hobbies and not take it so seriously and that is ok too, imo. In other words, to each his/her own. Sorry, Wildthing, I chose to agree to disagree.
