Thank you!

May I ask how you removed it? This is an amazing idea. Thanks!

No problem lol that's my 5 year old son. 🙂 and thanks, Sabre thinks he's pretty handsome too

My LFS orders from two sources and those places don't have any in the 6th months I've been asking. 💁💁

Thanks so much for understanding. Yep it's been a crappy situation and hard on my bank account lol. I am in love with the tinwini and plan to get more to fill out my school (if these 4 live). I'm on the hunt for another source now.

Hi Alison, Thanks for the reply! Yes I added both salt and Prazipro doses. I thought parasite as well!

My other pets: Cat = Cloud, 18 months German Shepherd = Sabre, 7 years Long haired Chihuahua = Archie, 2 years

Hi Daniel, Yes, I'm a trainer. Not currently working as such, however. Between Covid and and a move to a poor location I've had to shut down business operations. But, I'm happy to be out from under the burden of running a small business for now 🙂

Hello everyone, I'm Jamie and I live in Bremerton, WA. Between my boyfriend and I we have 4 tanks and counting. We have 4 empty tanks, a 65, a 75, and two 10 gals. I've had tropical fish off and on since I was 5. My Grandmother kept fish and tanks going for 55+ years and my comfort around the idea of fish keeping began with her and my Mom. "My" first fish were 3 Angels in a big tank when I was 5. My first true venture with the responsibility of a tank was a 20 gallon when I was 11. I had that tank for about 18 months, then my next venture was when I was 23 and accidentally bred my giant Danios. Saved 7 fry, one survived to nearly 2" then moved and gave them back to my LFS. I gave myself a Christmas present almost two years ago of 29 gallon kit and did a year of obsessive research on YouTube (how I found out about the Co-Op) before setting it up in December of last year. Thanks for letting me join and learn!

I'm looking for some help with my new D. Tinwini juvinile. Here's my story. Two weeks ago I received my very first mail delivered fish. 12 danio tinwini - I've wanted this species for a long time. Only one online vendor had them in stock for the past 5 months so I got them from that source. My fish arrived (only 11 though) live and in good condition over all. I drip acclimated them to my established quarantine tank and they seemed good - except after 3 days they would not eat anything. I tried krill flakes, frozen brine, frozen community blend, bug bites...etc, etc. They seemed to smell the food and looked for it but didn't recognize the food as edible. I began suspecting that 1) these fish had only had live foods, and/or 2) they were babies who had only eaten live foods. They are pretty small at .5 inch or smaller. I sought help from a trusted source, who also identified them as Tinwini for me as I had my doubts. He helped me find a local who gave me a vinegar eel culture. My fish seemed to eat some but not as enthusiastically as I expected. By this time they were 5 days in my care and most had a varying degree of sunken belly and swollen gills. Between day 5 and 8 three of the fish died, so I added salt and the next day added Prazipro at the correct dosage for the 10 gallon tank. I tried frozen BBS and they seemed to take to those best. I also added live microworms to their diet with some success. Trying to make this a bit shorter: I have 4 viable fish of my original 11. Two of them look normal, two have sunken tummy but are eating. What else can I do for the? What should I have done differently? Water parameters: temp 77, ph 7.6, ammonia 0, nitrites 0, nitrates 5 to 0, I have quite hard water but not sure the numbers.

My first and only post, so far, was deleted. I just realized it was because I posted where I got the fish that are really sick from. I've messaged the mod who had replied to my post asking if I could repost the topic without the company name.
