I will answer all questions as best I can, and if I am unsure of the answer, I will be willing to do research. I can answer questions about tetras, especially neon tetras. I can also answer questions on common diseases and parasites and how to treat them, and tank setups, maintenance, and cleaning. I can provide info. on cichlids (including breeding), goldfish, raising and breeding fancy guppies, and feeding your fish. If I don’t know the answer to your question, I will research and tell you my findings.
Experience I am 16 years old, but I have owned at least one fish tank since I was in elementary school. I now have a tank dedicated to raising and breeding fancy guppies, with much success. I have another tank with goldfish, which I’ve had the longest, and a larger tank with convict cichlid cichlids, which I have successfully bred, jewel cichlids, and an oscar. I’ve also raised and bred other cichlids as well. I used to have two other tanks, one with angel fish, and the other with tetras, which I recently got rid of. I’ve raised other fish such as catfish and gouramis along the way too. Since I have had fish so long I know much about diseases, and parasites, and how to treat them.
At the time i am writing this now i have:
1 Oscar
2 Jewel Cichlids
1 betta
6 goldfish
1 Kuhli loach
1 Rainbow shark
1 pleco
25 guppies
6 adult convict cichlids
30 young convict cichlids
Organizations I am hoping to volunteer at Hawk Creek.
Education/Credentials im only 16.... but I've been on the honor role my whole life(averages in the mid 90's), and im taking college courses in highschool.
Question When i was playing with my flower horn it suddenly hit the walls of the glass tank with its mouth open with a great force(i guess,it tried to bite me ). Then it went backwards and started to vomit blood. After some time blood started to come through the gills. When i treated the water immediately with medicine it stopped bleeding. Now after 12hrs , it is moving very slowly in the tank and most of the time it hides behind the stones in the tank.Will it recover from the injury...?
Answer Hi Sarun. Flower Horns are hardy. Fish in the cichlid family can recover from almost any physical injury in a couple days. I would add aquarium salt and keep medicating the tank for a week. Make sure the water is clean as well. The reason he's moving so slowly is because he is in shock. He might recover faster from the physical injury faster than the shock. Give him some time to recover and be patient. He should recover fine. If you need anything else let me know.
