The short story – yesterday the fish got fed a few times. I’ve realized that most food blows by the female, so I’m now in the position of having to turn off the filtration so she eats. This has the positive side that if I leave the water pump off for a bit, I could […]

In a nuthshell, the FW dip + Formalin did not really seem to go over well. The Maroon Female is under the live rock, wedged in, breathing unhappily and rapidly. Frankly though, I’ve seen MUCH WORSE LOOKING fish (see my posts about the Saddleback…of course, it did die within hours later). What I’ve seen develop […]
So, in a situation like this, I think it is INACTION that generally “seals the deal” as it were. Leave a fish that’s lost its desire to swim lying on the bottom wedged under the live rock and that fish will be somewhere, dead, by morning. That’s my general prognosis. Which is why inaction is […]
This morning, both fish showed signs of improvement. I was patting myself on the back for deciding to dose Formalin to the tank at the 1 drop per gallon rate. I didn’t say anything because I didn’t want to jinx anything. The Lightning Maroon is doing well. Today, all day, I can finally say that […]
So, these guys are really holding their cards close. This morning, Cryptocaryon and hints of Brooklynella. Then, for most of the day, the female has moved from the CAVE she’s lived in. She was out and about, mostly hovering above the cave, looking at the back wall & filter intake. No observeable Cryptocaryon, but renewed […]
Sometimes the only right question to ask is “WTF?!” Turned on the lights this morning (folks should know that ambient sunlight wakes up the fishroom much earlier than I do). Waited a few minutes. Offered Spectrum pellets to the Maroons. Saw the female make what I’d call a definitive “look” at the pellets before snubbing […]
Short update – still pulling crazy OT on the project for work today. I really want this project OFF MY PLATE! No external symptoms of anything on either Maroon today. No Brooklynella, Cryptocaryon or Amyloodinium outwardly observable. Both are very “mellow” overall, but no heavy breathing. The fish lack “spunk” though…they are not […]
I’ve offered 2 feedings since my last post. One was ignored by both fish, and this last one, the Lightning Maroon ate again. I’ve had mixing and heating for most of the day in anticipation of doing a water change this evening. I did that water change. Since I’m out of Seachem’s Stress Guard, I […]
Taking a break from work..wow…already burned out and again, OT is in the future tonight! But, I can take 10 minutes away to update you all on the status of the Maroons… This morning, I was dealt another disheartening turn of events. I went down before starting my workday and took a look. I think […]
I sent this one out to the experts, but I’m withholding my own thoughts. This is the PNG Saddleback I mentioned earlier when I talked about Formalin dipping “replaceable” fish before going with the Maroons. This Saddleback has been in hyposalinity (1.010) and has had a formalin dip daily for the last 3 days. The […]
