Anyone know much about this fish or can refer me to a site that does?
I'm having an unusual issue Iv'e not seen with any other fish. I have five of these little guys and last month I started treating the whole tank for flukes with prazi. I noticed over a coupel weeks that I wasn't seeing the sids as much. Over time I didn't see them at all and I figured they succumed to flukes or the treatment or whatever. Also my snail population is reaching plague proportions. I haven't seen one of the sids in over 2 weeks.
Today I started a major cleaning/water change and when I flipped over this piece of driftwood there where ALL 5 sids:confused:
What the heck are they doing??? They used to be the most active fish during the day. If they're feeding at night it's not on snails.
I'm not sure if I should qt them or just leave them be.They look healthy enough but I need something else to take care of my snails now.
