Regular Member shihpuff Posted March 9, 2015 Regular Member Share Posted March 9, 2015 I May just be a paranoid fish mom here but is this normal for this red streak on her body? It's on both sides of her body in the exact same place. She's acting totally normal. If you think it's something other than normal color change I'll post my tank parameters. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin koko Posted March 9, 2015 Admin Share Posted March 9, 2015 are you talking about the line on the side of him? If so thats the lateral line, they use that to help they hear the movements in the water.. its normal 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member shihpuff Posted March 9, 2015 Author Regular Member Share Posted March 9, 2015 thank you Koko that's interesting to know. I never knew that. It's just that it's never been so bold before like that and I've never seen it on any of my other fish. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporter Helen Posted March 9, 2015 Supporter Share Posted March 9, 2015 when did you last take photos of her? perhaps you can refer back to them to see if there is much of a difference? the knots look totally fine to me... and that is one super beautiful oranda 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supporter Helen Posted March 9, 2015 Supporter Share Posted March 9, 2015 i am pretty sure they appear normal, she's bigger in size now and also kept in stable conditions. so her colour is also darker. this also means that the lateral line will be darker again. i am pretty confident that the lateral line seen on her is of good health the only time you need to worry about the lateral line is when one or two knots appear inflamed and you will notice them as when they are inflamed, they stand out amongst the rest. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
