Re: I'm sorry if you don't have any fry. (none / 0) (#21)
by heyheymama on Fri Feb 27, 2004 at 04:16:22 AM PST

didn't know about the meaty food thing. you'll never believe this, but i just found one little fry beneath the rock surface, against the glass! he is the cutest baby!!! i am going to remove my fish today and clean my tank, so i will be able to do a thorough search for fry. i have all flat, marble type stones at the bottom, and i have read the fry can hide there, though i would've liked to have them sequestered at birth. i have lots of plants, too. not overcrowded but comfortable and homey (haha). and i have some of those bottom suckers, cleaning fish, but i don't know what they're called. very friendly, but they still probably sucked up some of my poor little fry. also, a week ago i read (and saw photos) about the parasites you talk about and have searched for signs since. i have not seen any worms, etc., but i have noted a pinkness around the gills and rear of some of my fish, but only the palest females. i can only see it when they're very near the light. maybe it's just their internal organs? i just don't know if this is normal or if they already had the pinkness when i got them, because i notice more about them as i get more sensitive to the fish's appearances and get to know them and more about them. maybe i'm overanalyzing their appearances. that's characteristic of my personality. one time on one female i did see stringy feces, but only once, and she's been solid since (i read that was a sign of parasites). everyone is acting happy. what do you think? no real signs, but.........? could the pinkness be normal?
