Pajama
Cardinal sick... just lonely 9/25/07
I have a pajama cardinal fish for about 3-4 weeks now, he started
out as the only fish in the 120G aquarium. He was initially housed with
3 peppermint shrimp. He was a pig, the only thing I can get him to eat
as of today though is Mysis shrimp, he has no interest in anything else
(especially formula 2 pellet). Currently his tank mates include 2 black
ocellaris, and a blue green Chromis, all 4 of these fish are under an
inch and a half long. Ammonia is 0, nitrite is 0, and nitrate is around
15, the only problem I seem to having more recently is a slight
microbubble problem, first we thought it was the pump, I took it apart
and checked all the connections, and after further testing we figured
out that it was the Euroreef RS135 skimmer. In the last day or so my
cardinal stopped being quite so outgoing, no one bothers him, but he
started being slightly less interested in Mysis, normally he is a pig,
but now he takes one and then goes and hides, not his normal
personality.
<Actually... about what usually happens... with solitary Cardinals>
I took a much closer look at him and I found he seems to have some sort
of off colored fuzzy irritated area on his rear underneath his rear
flipper. I have a picture of it right here, I have no Q tank atm... let
me know what you think this might be and what possible treatments
are...Any help is appreciated

its sort of where the lower black part of his black stripe fades off,
normally that's solid black
<Stress...>
This guy is my baby, my first fish in the tank would love any advice you
can give.
Thank you so much again...

Cardinal hiding in algae 2/2/06
Hi Crew,
This morning I opened the top of my 10 gallon tank to feed the fish and I
saw a bright orange in of my Chaeto which is a fairly tight Brillo ball.
Well, It was my spotted cardinal tightly encased and I was sure he was dead.
It took some doing do untangle and get him out and within a minute
he started to move around. Being that his shape is disc type I can not
figure out how he got in that deep. I like the Chaeto because (I think) it
keeps my nitrates down to zero. It used to always be around 20.
<Can, do. Bob Fenner>
