Hey all, last spring I posted some sick fish here on Simplt and I thought I would update u on the progress. Today they have free swimmers in my 225 community tank. Although i know these free swimmers wont last it is pretty exciting.

Thanks all ;D

The Blue panda went on a hunger strike so i put him in hospital tank with heat 94f and salt. Did a few metro treatments and all the good live foods, but he never ate. After a few weeks i just couldnt get him to eat and i didnt have the heart to flush him, dumped him back in the growout tank and thought he would be dead in a few days, well a few days later he was eating everything in sight and put on wieght really fast. Today he is one of my biggest fish well over 6".

The snakeskin when I got her, in the bag from the shipper most of her fins just fell off, I think ammonia burn. She went thru heat and salt and was ok after a while but her fin never grew back all the way, but she lays eggs every 8 days, and is always tending eggs.

My hat is off to you!
Excellent work. the panda, as a youngster looked like an owl. The other one, like a freak. Now, happy parenting.
Thanks for sharing and congratulations.
Cheers, Francisco.
