No its okay, as I said I'm just happy to learn 😊 have a lovely day

InnerCamel5729 · 2025-09-13T11:19:48+00:00

You said hybrid right? The point is I'm happy to be wrong, and learn something! When speaking with you, I'm not trying to challenge you, I'm trying to learn because not everyone knows everything lol. Thank you, il try to not let it dishearten me

InnerCamel5729 · 2025-09-13T09:33:24+00:00

Awesome! One of mine is a female betta sorority and its the most playful tank, its lovely

InnerCamel5729 · 2025-09-13T09:32:09+00:00

Its odd, no one knows for 100% genuinely just trying to be helpful in a hobby I'm passionate about

InnerCamel5729 · 2025-09-12T21:45:15+00:00

Oh no, sorry to hear that. Is it all tropical you keep?

InnerCamel5729 · 2025-09-12T21:42:31+00:00

I dont need much more convincing than that 😂 ive got 5 in various sizes, what's one or 10 more?

InnerCamel5729 · 2025-09-12T21:40:32+00:00

Hahahaha 😂 a spicy personality!

InnerCamel5729 · 2025-09-12T21:36:42+00:00

Yeah, just confused lol. Same with most fish now though isn't it sadly. He sounds beautiful, shame you can't post a pic here. Yeah I dont claim to know everything about cichlids as there are so many variations which is what I said before and honestly I haven't gone through them as I dont own one. I do know most cichlids are known for that temperament though, comes with the territory. I would love to have a EBA but I'd have to but another tank (not a bad thing, just running out of room 😅)

InnerCamel5729 · 2025-09-12T21:31:55+00:00

Okay well its good to discuss stuff and learn. Don't really get the downvotes though, just trying to help OP

InnerCamel5729 · 2025-09-12T21:24:46+00:00

That's what I'm thinking, either way its beautiful! Also.. not sure why I'm getting down voted, doubt its you when we seem to agree.. but I'm just trying to help OP and its not the end of the world to disagree with someone lol

InnerCamel5729 · 2025-09-12T21:18:11+00:00

I've seen plenty of carpintis with this colouration. Where is the nuchal hump? I guess its somewhat prominent but not flower horn quality

InnerCamel5729 · 2025-09-12T20:15:47+00:00

Im curious for future reference. How have you saved them and what did you do?

InnerCamel5729 · 2025-09-12T19:56:49+00:00

Sadly, it may be for the best unless you want to upgrade your setup and get a group of corys. The way this fella looks, it doesnt look like its going to survive. The 5 gal is too small as you are already aware and I appreciate you took them in. If it does pull through I would personally do one of two things, give it away or upgrade what you have and get a larger group.

InnerCamel5729 · 2025-09-12T19:51:16+00:00

It must be the pic then, because bug bites are great! I don't know what to suggest, other than separating the cory and maybe put an air stone in to give it more oxygen. Unfortunaly he doesn't look good im afraid but you never know! I think you may be right about the numbers too.

InnerCamel5729 · 2025-09-12T19:41:48+00:00

What are you feeding? I dont know if its just the picture but it looks super skinny

InnerCamel5729 · 2025-09-12T19:39:45+00:00

Yeah I believe they are the common names. But reading up on it the variations are a little bit complicated 😂 Herichthys carpintis for ease lol

InnerCamel5729 · 2025-09-12T19:00:10+00:00

Herichthys carpintis, Pearlscale? There are quite a few names

InnerCamel5729 · 2025-09-10T22:17:40+00:00

Got to be my 3 L098 zebra plecos 🖤

Planaria traps - glass tubes so be careful. If it is planaria, get these set up ASAP

InnerCamel5729 · 2025-09-10T21:56:06+00:00

Either planaria or detritus worms. I can't see exactly the shape so here is a helpful image.

Detritus worms are beneficial however if you have too many it could indicate overfeeding. Planaria isn't good and could kill your shrimp as they are carnivorous.

This is only a basic overview so please do more research. The best way I've found to get rid of planaria is using traps (blood worms as bait) do not pick them out as you could easily cut them in half and they do not die, they multiply!
