First list is all wild caught the week of 31 July (a few were purchased on 6 August).
Wild caught fish were treated with clout, erythromycin (sp), and foran 2 onboard the Nenita right after they were caught and over subsequent days on an alternating schedule. After arrival here they were treated again with all these meds and medicated flake. This is the first time I haven't had an outbreak of ick - so they've not been treated for that. Additionally, fish prone to worms have also been hit with de-wormer.
Thankfully there has been very little mortality, which is a good indication that the fish are ready for new permanent loving homes.

I love the fact that you go to the Amazon and catch your own fish. That is amazing. I also love the fact that when I tell my husband this he does not think I am quite so crazy about all the time I spend preening over my aquariums. I'm excited to see your 80 fishtanks on Saturday and I plan to take some pictures. That way when I get one or two more little aquariums for more shrimp Andy will think I am still very much in the "normal" range.

I'll be there around 2 then, still have the $20.mab wrote:I have lots in my tanks - java, christmas tree, and flame.
Everything looks great. I grabed a few things already, the apistos and pencil fish were eating 60 seconds after hitting my tank.krisw wrote:Great list of fish, Michael! Quick question, these are wild caught, right? Are they under-going parasite treatments now, or would you suggest any extra quarantining methods than normal for buyers? I might be interested in a few things, which is why I ask.
