Pat's Wilds Journal 2

[2wheelsx2]

Around 100 gallons. 24" tall rimless, drilled and direct plumbed. I put up a bit of a journal a while back and just put up some new pics:

Great wilds tanks, nice mix of plants, wood, dither fish and of course your wilds, all greens?

Thanks. Yes, they are greens. I hope to add some browns at some point.

While I had thoughts of returning the N. reds in the home tank (100 gallon) to the disease section of the forum I believe I am seeing small improvements finally with scaleless. Since the wedding weekend when this fish suffered a couple of BN attacks it recovered wound wise but has no been 100% since. It has been off and on hiding and dark.

The last couple of days it is mostly out and more evenly colored so I will give it a couple more days.

I have also started adding paprika to the BH mix to enhance the reds and believe I am seeing a difference already especially with the N. reds.

In the 75 gallon I have the U. blues and Alenquers. The smaller U. blue has very minor HITH. This particular fish seems to be more sensitive to water quality so I have to be careful to keep a fairly rigid WC schedule to keep this guy happy.

The QT is my fun tank at the moment. The tefes are happy and friendly, school nicely and swim all over the tank. While this tank has a sand bottom there is no wood in it. I think there is something about not giving them a place to hide and they will not hide.

Hey Pat, are the N. reds the only ones that received the worming treatment?

I like to give a couple separation structures so they can define their space but not hide. They do seem more active and interact.

Yes Bill, only the N reds received the worming treatment. So what are you thinking?

Just it can be pretty harsh on them and takes time and a lot of clean water for them to get back to normal. You will give them the care they need I'm sure.

It's been about 8 weeks since the treatment but I will keep that in mind. Thanks Bill.

This little fish seems to have more spots now then when it first came.

I don't know what nice wilds are suppose to look like, not my thing, but I like how yours look.
