:hi: all
Yesterday afternoon me and hubby went to LFS for some aqua safe and saw the most beautiful male Bristlenose, i did want one but they never had any until yesterday, unfortunately we dont have a qt tank ( my bad we wasnt going to buy anymore fish until the commons were in their bigger tank, we were going to use that tank as a qt, but it seemed like to good an opportunity) so he is in with our Odessa's who are healthy.
We checked him over for some time, the staff must have thought we were nuts, we checked his appearance and his tummy and all is fine. We will watch him closely in the coming weeks.
After he was settled in the tank he mooched about and did some algae eating, and is not bothered by the odessa's at all, my concern is he is still showing stress colouring and didnt have a bite of the veg i put in last night for him, at the moment he is hiding in an ornament and hubby is getting him a cave ( hopefully today or tommorrow). I have put in a slice of cu***ber today and will put courgette in again tonight for him.
Is there anything else i can do for him, i guess i cant help feeling apprehensive after losing the Gibby.
Sorry to ramble.
