Regular Member LaurieP Posted June 30, 2005 Regular Member Share Posted June 30, 2005 Eserah I am no expert on this one, but I do know that not all pearlscales develop wens. How big in yours? I am assuming if he or she is meant to have one, feeding a good diet and good water quality will give him or her the best chance to start growing one.

Regular Member daryl Posted June 30, 2005 Regular Member Share Posted June 30, 2005 I am no expert, but the few crowned pearlscales that I have seen have the "crown" wen when they are very young - the crown is just small - in proportion to the fish. As the fish grows, so does the wen..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
