Kizmet's glued tail
OK here a NEW question!!!!! Kiz is very lively and active has flared at the mirror BUT his tail seems to be 'glued' into a point as are his fins so i only got the full beard as a flare. I'll add a pic. He is full colour and not acting like a sick fish. I wondered if the API Stress coat i added may have made them sticky as that is how they look. However that was 2 days ago and i've changed the water twice since. I thought Sky's looked that way yesterday but he seems better today but HE did look off. Ideas?

Maybe some kind of parasite ?

Oh dear!

What are your water parameters? This only happened two days after you added the Stress Coat? He's eating fine? Active?

I don't know anything about that product, but hopefully someone else does.

In the meantime, I would do water changes using Prime and no Stress Coat. Pristine water seems to cure or help a lot of problems with no medications needed.

Don't try and make him flare. He could easily split his fins badly.

Hope there will be more suggestions!

don't worry, i won't make him flare. He is full of life and still as greedy as ever. I am changing water daily because new larger tank set up. Sky was the same a few days ago but his finnage releasing now.

His finnage is a lot like Sora's and Sora VERY rarely displayed his fins when he did flare, he only showed his flaring gill. I think as long as he's acting healthy, it's not a problem really.

Well 2 days on and his fins are relaxing back to what they were!! He is as cheeky as ever!!! I can now get BBC programmes i've missed on my laptop via BBC iplayer, he has been watching with me tonight. ( bbc.co.uk.......iplayer site for anyone that wants to watch!!)

Michelle, I am happy to hear Kiz is getting back to being his old self!!
Tell him to behave for a bit, and quit making you worry - it will give you wrinkles ( I Know!)

I'm glad to hear that. Can you watch Doctor Who on that?

Tazmiche

Kiz is showing off now, i've told him i love him etc 'but knock it off!' he is a little love. ( Shame i lost my Honey, her on one bedside table and cheeky Kiz on the other wouldbe fab!!)

Dave, yes you can get Dr Who on it, i think progs are stored for 7 days so if it has been on then yes
