With all the problems with my 2- sick fish i forgot to mention i bought 2-new babie's the same place i bought the other 2-rescues and these 2-are lionheads and they have been in quarenteen for about 3-weeks and their are just 3-months old and so far look good have been treated with prazi-pro just to be safe and growing like bad weeds and i'm feeding 3-small meals a day.My question is there anything besides what i'm feeding and fresh veggies that i should be feeding just because they are such small babies lol,and i was searching internet and they said to give brine shrimp and dalphina-peas,veggies, and bloodworms because they are small and need lots of protein.Is this true? And when i bought them i felt i would take a chance as my other rescue's are remarkable little fish. They were banged up bad but not sick lol. and no, not from big ale's.This is a family bussiness run by family and they always have time to talk to me and don't sell me-what i don't need as i found from big ales i had double of all the same products but never the right ones lol So any help please for my questions bella

no offense, but why would you continue buying fish at the same place if the ones you've bought there in the past are unhealthy? well anyway are these red cap oranda gol,difsh your talking about? -fishlover78

Fishlover, it sounds like these fish were rescued three weeks ago ("three weeks in quarantine"), so this was before the most recent round of problems.

oh, thanks for explaining SDS!

Fishlover, if you would read my post, lol it say's were i bought them and when-no offence, and they are lionheads lol bella

fishlover78

sorry shih tzu mom where do you keep "rescueing all these fish from?

shih-tzu mom

No, problem Fishlover, now do you have any advise? that would be great on feeding lol bella

fishlover78

as you know I would give them a veggie rich diet, and the brine shrimp would be a great contribution to their nutrition! you can build you own brine shrimp hatcher.

Fishlover it is a family run bussiness, that sells fish and i see no dead fish in that store at all and very clean equipment and fish, they are always cleaning tanks when i go in. lol that is where i get them and i have as of yesterday-3-oranda;s and 2-lionhead's, and 2-fantail's, so i hope this makes it less confusing for all. and i have a lot of betta's bella.

shih-tzu mom

Yes, Fishlover in the future, i will be starting to grow my own brineshrimp, at least i will know what is in it lol. thanks for your input bella
