can't find my test kit [i know it's here SOMEWHERE!] but last water parameter check , everything was normal.
1/3 water changes done weekly [280L tank]
temp is set at 26 degrees
fed Hikari algae wafers daily and peas, zucchini or other fresh veggies at least twice a week.
Here is a photo, please ignore the strange texture over the whole photo, the flash reflected the bedsheet pattern onto the glass.
other than the white bristles he seems quite happy and healthy, his fins are all intact, no sign of fin rot or anything.
ETA- read through the thread-mine looks almost identical to the one pictured there and that's exactly what his bristles are doing.
