Unwanted Xback Nov 05 Update

aroisking · 03-11-2005, 01:02 AM

Hi all AF's member,

Here is my Nov05 update of my unwanted xback. Unwanted because I failed to find a new owner for this xback during my last sale. This xback is in the top tank now. When it was in the bottom tank, it was quite stressed as its swam with its dorsal, anal & tail fins closed, especially when it swam passed visitors & me. Also, its pectoral fins were bitten by the SDs.

Blackwater was added to calm my xback in its new environment. Hopefully, with my TLC, the xback development can improve further and it could gain more confidence in the top tank. Now, trying to train it to take BF

Sianz right? Seems like everytime it's those fellas you least expect that damages your prized fish. My Xback was wacked by smaller greenies before. PB also does some damages to my bigger RTGs...
