I thought I would write today about the kinds of fish I currently have. Unfortunately my list would have been a lot more impressive had it not been for a devastating run of Malawi Bloat--a disease that attacks the fish's intestinal tract, causing them to swell and eventually die. It appears that unusually high water temperature was the key environmental factor that caused this outbreak. I have since turned off the heater in which the thermostat appeared to have broken. Water temperature is stable at about 75 degrees and all seems well with the current inhabitants. And without further delay...
3 "Fire" Peacocks - Aulonocara
3 "Blue Dolphins" - Cyrtocara Moorii
1 Lethrinops "Red Cap"
1 Frontosa
1 Tropheus Duboisi
1 Aulonacara "Bicolor"
1 Aulonacara "Butterfly"
1 Aulonacara "Midnite"
1 Female Red Empress - Protomelas taeniolatus
1 Euchilis (not sure of gender yet)
1 Tiger Fenestratus - Protomelas Steveni
1 Redfin Borleyi
2 Lamprologus brevis
1 Pseudotropheus saulosi
2 Mutt fish - not sure what these are but they are definitely hybrids
I could run through the list of fish I lost recently to Malawi bloat but I would just cry trying. So I am sparing you and me of this great pain.
