Clean tank and happy fish

Gary, or Charles - is that really a dull-eye royal? And if so, why does it only eat lint and bloodworms? It won't TOUCH anything veggie.

The runt is of unknown origin from IPU Richmond. Got it from Kevin. Actually got it after BEGGING for it from Kevin and paying TONS of money for it. It has really gotten thick since being here.
Except for the yellow one, which is an ica/heckel cross, the other three came from a group of six I bought with April last October. They haven't grown as quickly as I would have liked so I'm afraid they are runted, but still one is doing well.
Yes, all my fish LOVE their dryer lint. I still have tons for you; don't worry. Am I going to see you tomorrow at Charles?

Thanks so much for cleaning up my post. I have no idea why I couldn't do pics the way I used to and am too tired from working all weekend to figure it out Most appreciated. P.S. If you are free the rest of the weekend, can I hire you to do some paperwork

me and paperwork dont get along, i always miss something on it

Here's the video.....I highly recommend listening to Kim Mitchell's "All We Are" while watching




As you can clearly see, some if not most of all my wilds and even the skittle fish are pretty banged up. The wilds are crazy fish; no two ways about it. They will be perfectly calm for days on end and then out of the blue, they just get spooked and if one darts, the rest follow and usually right into the pile of driftwood I have seen some pretty bad gashes. Throw in some more salt and within two days, nothing. So if you see some marks and wonder if it's the camera it's not - it's the fish! They are scrapped and some are missing scales. Silly fish

Oh, and by the way.....I've had some people say that wild discus will only act this way if they are sick or unhealthy. Rubbish. My fish are prefectly healthy and happy and they STILL do it. So for the folks who like to talk about my beasties and say that they are not well, I would have to beg to differ

i cant see anything clearly
