Wow, yes what a weird pattern. Where is it from? LFS? importer?

Cheers, Eric

Petsmart actually of all things. But here in fl we get a lot of misplaced fish even in the chains. Hes also upon further inspection covered in ich. So we're treating that atm.

Heat that little one up. My maccus breed at up to 84F. So you can crank the heat pretty high (86-88F for a few days) to help treat the ich.

I had a similar one and found picture of another one on L-welse. See thread here: viewtopic.php?f=13&t=44314&p=301582#p301410
Obviously this is a variant that turns occasionally, if rarely. Unfortunately my one died due to a clogged up filter while I was abroad for work.
