Regular Member IvoryValentine01 Posted January 25, 2013 Regular Member Share Posted January 25, 2013 So, my fry are a week old now & yesterday I spotted this one (but then I couldn't find it again til this morning)...same size & development as the others, eats, moves about...but seems to have a spine curved the wrong way, is for the most part, upside down altho occasionally spins in circles...what should I do with it? I'm thinkin' at the very least I should take it out of the tank...but then what? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member GoldenSpoiledRotten Posted January 25, 2013 Regular Member Share Posted January 25, 2013 In my opinion you need to cull it. It's development is pretty much moot if it is that deformed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member IvoryValentine01 Posted January 25, 2013 Author Regular Member Share Posted January 25, 2013 I figured as much. What should I do with it tho? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member GoldenSpoiledRotten Posted January 25, 2013 Regular Member Share Posted January 25, 2013 Do you have access to clove oil? It's the best way to humanely euthanize fish. Before you cull it, take some time to watch the babies and see if any more have issues getting around or don't look healthy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member IvoryValentine01 Posted January 25, 2013 Author Regular Member Share Posted January 25, 2013 I don't have any here but I can go out and get some. Is there a clove oil to water ratio then...since I'm assuming it goes into the water? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
