    Emergency Blood Patch Near Eyes

    Well, he seems a little better. Still has those red patches, changed from blood red to red. Was not eating at all yesterday, hide most of the time in his goby cave. Today he ate a little bit, seemed a lot more alert instead of staring into space. It's possible something is stuck in his...

    Emergency Blood Patch Near Eyes

    Are you sure you didn't mean brine shrimp? They have almost no nutritional value. Mysis is very high in protein one of the highest out there. More the most dry food, pellets etc. I have had fish live for 10 years on the stuff very fat and healthy.

    Emergency Blood Patch Near Eyes

    Thanks, I went out for a while and it looks redder then before. He is now in the front of the tank, and I can see that both patches on both sides seem to be linked to two holes in the front of his head. (Not Hole in the Head). But like nostrals or something. What do fish like that have in...

    Fish Seizures?

    jakleen, Both your cows did this in seprate tanks and they died? I check my water all the time and everything looks good except Nitrates a little high. Since you suggest checking water, is that what you determined the probable cause in your case? If so what was out of wack? What were you...

    Fish Seizures?

    I get that, but its odd that he just started doing that after about 2 years in the same tank. Why would he act like he suddenly dosent know me? Or suddenly be afraid of me then later like nothing happened.
