I am really starting to think that these chronic bacterial issues stem from breeding activity. Last week, things were good, I saw a little pre-spawn activity and now once again, come Friday the 13th, there’s a white spot on the Lightning Maroon’s upper lip. By Saturday, it was already well infected, and now, come Sunday, […]

I believe I shot these Sunday AM. It is now Monday AM, and honestly, things are improving. The appetite of the Lightning Maroon remains strong, which I’ve used to ensure that it continues to feed on the Dr. G’s antibacterial formula. I should preface this by saying that the Lightning Maroon has always been […]
I promised photos, and I took them. I ended up not doing any subsequent antibiotic treatments, so I basically ran one day longer with the Maracyn SW than called for, and Maracyn II went the full course. I didn’t have a very cooperative photograph subject, but these photos of the Lightning Maroon were take on […]
Friday, April 27, 2012. I’ll keep this short and bittersweet. In the last 24 hours the Lightning Maroon has developed a pretty rapid spreading case of what appears to be mouth rot. You may recall a similar situation occurring with the Morse-Code Maroon, and that did not end well. The biggest question is WTF – […]
Short update, I got on the Morse Code Maroon this morning and swabbed the area with Hydrogen Peroxide. I am guessing this fish will likely be dead in the next 24 hours. Ordinarily, a fish in this condition would be euthanized. Warning, the picture is pretty darn graphic. The fish’s entire upper maxillary has been […]
…is that life has a way of giving you a nice smack in the face, aka a “reality check”. The old phrase “don’t count your [clownfish] before they hatch” seems to apply here. I alluded to it at the end of my last post. Yes, the “Morse Code” Maroon is having issues…it showed signs almost […]
So, after last night’s update, I went downstairs and gave the fish a closer look and that’s when I saw something I really didn’t like. The female’s right eye was distended and had a big black splotch on it. There was not a spot of Cryptocaryon on her, which was the “moment” I had been […]
So, a bunch of clownfish porn this evening, because frankly, a blog is kinda boring if it’s just always text text text text text. The female PNG Maroon is definitely doing better, yet still sick. Still has cloudy eyes. After I fed and shot video this evening, she got another water change with full strength […]
OK, officially I’m just frustrated. I have to commend the Female PNG Maroon for fighting to live as it seems a never ending barrage of maladies hits her. I know there’s still Crypotcaryon running around the tank, only seen it on her. Now, it turns out that the “chunk” of her left pectoral fin that […]
So, in a situation like this, I think it is INACTION that generally “seals the deal” as it were. Leave a fish that’s lost its desire to swim lying on the bottom wedged under the live rock and that fish will be somewhere, dead, by morning. That’s my general prognosis. Which is why inaction is […]
