Nice-looking fish for larger tanksThis fish has a nice, bright pattern. It is a nipper and will peck at flowing fins on tankmates. It is best suited for tanks with a lot of swimming room. It got along with larger fish in my tank. Other aquarists have had bad luck. Their fish killed all the other fish in the tank. I think it is a roll of the dice. Risky to add to an established tank. .

Looks bad, but fish recoverStress brings on this viral disease. The fish will recover if most cases. But if you have a dead fish, for any reason, remove it immediately. If fish eat a dead fish, the virus may be transmitted. The rotting fish will cause a stressful spike in ammonia and nitrite. Remove dead fish right away!!!.
