On the subject of quarantine and treatment, I made a purchase at NationalFishPharm for some Crypto-Pro so I can possible dose for these fish. I'll run them a few weeks hypo and see what happens and then if all is good, I'll bring them back to normal, give them a few days to relax, and dose Crypto-Pro just to make sure its gone.

Day 6. All is well. Thanks PIA!

I'm terrible taking pictures of fish; I really need a better camera than this P&S. But 2 crappy-ish pictures are better than no pictures. :)

I promise there's more beauty than what appears here.

Thanks for the heads up guys. We appreciate it! We are both bummed out, Terry especially as she put a lot of time and effort into trying to keep that fish alive.

You gotta love Live Aquaria - they would have extended the 14 day guarantee since the fish arrived in bad shape and they would have promptly refunded our money yesterday.

We've also been following PIA on Facebook and those males they have are stunning specimens.

They are gorgeous. I can only hope that mine get that nice.

My bigger female is definitely turning more red on her dorsal fins.

I lost the potters yesterday and the eightline today. I'm trying to get my salinity up so I can wipe this out with meds but it's so hard being patient at this point. Hopefully the Kuiters will make it that long.
