    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.

    ONE MONTH UPDATE




    Not sure what happened to this video but it seem blurry. They were awfully hungry and would'nt sit still. I will redo it tommorrow.

    Pat, sorry I didn't see your question earlier, all but 2-3 of the fry were affected. It really is a shame because despite the defective fins this is a healthy batch, and the fastest growing of my 4 batches.

    Sucks about the fins, the ones that are in good shape look really nice.
