Fletch Posted October 11, 2011 Report Share Posted October 11, 2011 This is one of the spawn that dad munched on and then had a heater fail and got no food for two weeks. Four still going strong, I think they ate a little behind but who knows. I can't remember how old they are. Anyway, this one started to do this once jarred.

shadoh Posted October 11, 2011 Report Share Posted October 11, 2011 I suppose you can now at least monitor her health and see if there is a correlation between the sudden colour change and the illness your cello boy got... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kertaz Posted October 11, 2011 Report Share Posted October 11, 2011 (edited) Oh Em Gee?! Your fish's cellophaning again. I hope it doesn't turn out like the previous case, though. She's still looking healthy? Edited October 11, 2011 by kertaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarah Posted October 12, 2011 Report Share Posted October 12, 2011 Sorry to hear, Bussy! Hope she isn't like the last male that started to cello.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fletch Posted October 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2011 Fish not showing any signs of ill health. Will just wait and see. I am surprised to have another one considering I only have four in this lot. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luv_my_fish Posted October 12, 2011 Report Share Posted October 12, 2011 You should call this the Michael Jackson line I'm thinking I should change mine to the Pac Man line considering dad jumped into the fry tank and ate a bunch pac man style I hope everything works out for you and your fishies!

Fletch Posted October 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2011 So do I. I have just spawned another pair of black orchids. First time for both fish. Not sure if they were wrapping properly though. I have three different aged spawns now, all black orchids, two different fathers and three different mothers. I am so confused. :-} Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul Posted October 12, 2011 Report Share Posted October 12, 2011 It's kinda cute all splotchy like that Paul. I'm sure this one will be fine. Just an unfortunate coincidence I reckon in the last male that cello'd out. I wouldn't worry. I wonder if you can back track a little to see if there is a link between each fish and the marbles. Maybe stay away from those that are closest relatives to those that have produced marbles so as to avoid getting more marbles??? Just a thought. Probably isn't going to be do-able, but a thought anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fletch Posted October 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2011 All fish are related Paul. All siblings to my original pair. :-) Just thought I would document it for all our benefit. My biggest issue with the last cello was the blindness. He went blind quickly, at least in one eye and possibly going blind in both. Never had a diseased fish go blind before which makes me lean toward genetic defect but I really have no idea. I feel like there is so much to learn with these guys.
