It hasn't touch the earthworms bites (for the moment)... and it's getting clearer and clearer... I don't like it too much...

Sunday, after eating the tadpoles

Hi Christophe!

Maybe he doesn't feel secure in such thing...I ll try to find something bigger, add some sand and a place where he could eventually hide...I am sure it would help him a lot!!

Cheers

Game Over

I found it dead a few minutes ago... not surprised... but sad indeed... I think it's the first time I'm unable to feed and take care of a fish and that I loose it missing the acclimatation phase...

I may find another, bigger... later... I need to prepare something more adapted to such a small and young animal. Maybe a growing up tank...

sorry for disturbing, people...

Very sad indeed But it's the nature of the beast! But yes loosing fish is by far the one of the worst things in the hobby.

Sorry about it!!

If it came to you looking that scary thin, chances have been stacked heavily against you. It looks either gravely emanciated or really sick or both. So, I'd challenge the seller and try again.
