P. Cheni update

Post by Mad Duff » Sun Apr 15, 2007 1:51 pm

I thought I would take a couple of photos of the P. Cheni now that they have been settled in for a couple of weeks, they have really filled out and are very active and look right at home in their tank :D

Very nice!!
It will be interesting to see how the sewellia and chenis interact. Maybe the spawning activity of the chenis will induce the sewellia to spawn, or vice versa. :wink:

Excellent! 8) What do the loaches make of it? Is it just another place to graze for them?

The Cheni pretty much just use it to graze on but some time ago I had quite a bad outbreak of whitespot in my Clown tank and all the Clowns were pretty badly affected, for a week or so they didn't look happy and meds didn't seem to be working so I put in two large pieces of Quartz crystal that had been cleansed and instantly the Clowns gathered round it and started rubbing themselves on it. Within a week they were back to normal and the whitespot was gone, it may well have been a coincidence but I haven't had a problem in any tank since.

I didn't have any in the cheni tank to start off with but when I did put it in they reacted differently to it compared to other rocks etc that have been put in the tank :?

Only get worried if the fish start using tools.
