We do Ryan. My intent was to verify the paper was correctly measured since I was not using a quarter.

Believe you Pat about your paper marked ... think we need real measuring tape for 6 months and 1 year old

Re: Pat's Contest Fish Wild Tefe F1 "Batch B"

Part of the documentation requirements is a "quarter or other similar sized object on the side of the tank as a reference mark for size". I did not use a quarter but instead a piece of paper with two inches marked out in it in ink. Tonight I will include a picture with a measuring tape beside the paper to show the paper is marked correctly.

Sorry to hear you lost one Pat. It definitely does take the wind out of your enjoyment sails when you have to deal with this stuff. Hoping the other seven are eating you out of house and home soon.

Full tank shot. 40 breeder with wood on one end to anchor the group to one end of the tank. Does it work, well it did with Batch A but with this small group not so much. They are still under going the metro treatment and the feeding vigor better but not great.



Group shots: There are still seven and size wise maybe two inches average and definitely not uniform. Color is coming in and all have red eyes. I will be documenting water parameters a little later tonight. One 90% WC per day and feed seafood mix, FDBWs, brine shrimp and introducing Bill's Super BH flake with pro-growth.

Re: Pat's Contest Fish Wild Tefe F1 "Batch B"

So while the fry look ok, the feeding vigor is rather poor. Saturday evening I did a PP (2 ppm and my idea) treatment to jumpstart them but that had no effect and (via PM) Jim (jimg) reminded me about the metro treatment I used on Batch A. So last night I started a course of metro and this morning the fry were waiting on me at feeding time.

Sorry to hear Pat. Hope they get a full recovery soon.

Thanks Eddie, they are looking 100% better so believe they are over the hump. I am now treating the other half of Batch B.

I am on the third treatment of the praziquantel and the fry are consistently looking good which makes me happy. I have been a bit bummed about them, when your fry are sick it really destroys your enjoyment working with them.
