mjfromga 1,784 Posted October 13, 2018 @aussieJJDude I am very excited too. From my readings and whatnot, it should clear up more than this as this was right after a heavy rain... But it will never ever clear up to actually look clear or probably even near clear. In the spring, I am supposed to put "bog plants" and whatnot in there which should help clear it up a tad as well as help with water quality and help with the bottom not being so loose. We shall see. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mjfromga 1,784 Posted October 16, 2018 Well this little man hasn't looked quite right for a bit and this morning he tried to eat and the pellet bumped off his mouth. Upon further investigation... He has a bad case of ich. He was the weak one and he was slightly clampy and bottom sitty when I got them and so this doesn't come as a total surprise... but still. This is also why I left him out and put the others in. It does help to control the experiment a bit. In any case, I decided to drain the mud pond and look for the two I threw in. I can't be sure they're okay. I honestly don't have high hopes for this dude. He cannot open his mouth and he's covered in ich. He's never been able to open his mouth properly when I go back and look at his other videos but he was able to eat etc. I've put in a heater and salted him and we shall see. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mjfromga 1,784 Posted October 16, 2018 Lol they're fine. I will begin ich treatment on all of them and finish up the digging and rounding out the hole in the two weeks it will take to treat them. Uru is really sick and I don't know that with his mouth issues and whatnot... That he will make it... But these two still seem strong and I think they should be okay. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fish Of Gold 2,297 Posted October 16, 2018 Hi guys. I'm pretty sad because my cousin died yesterday due to stage 3 stomach cancer. She was just 56 years old. I was really hoping that she'd beat cancer like I did It breaks my heart to see her children and her brothers and sisters, friends and the rest of my family posting on FB how much they miss her already. I wish I could take away their sadness and heartache, as well as my own. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
