Firemouth Posted June 12, 2013 Author Share Posted June 12, 2013 Sure does suck L2H.As I stated earlier, when I 1st saw them they were cowering behind a sponge filter in a small bare tank.When I went back the next day they were still there but again hiding.I asked the shopkeeper to move the filter so I could have a look.When she did, the two fish took off at full throttle around the tank.I picked the larger and better coloured of the two.Fish looked good nick to me, the way it moved led me to think it was fit.When i put the fish in the tank at home it was hard to get a good look at it cause it was staying toward the back of the tank amongst the foliage.Was hoping it was only being spooked by the larger tankmates.It wasn't for a coupla days that I noticed it panting with its mouth not closing properly.I also noticed that tho' I hadn't seen it eat yet it looked like it had a full belly.I'd seen this sorta thing before but the fish had come good.Anyway, 3-4 more days, a water change with no improvement and it was over.I went back to the shop and neither the shopkeeper who sold me the fish or the remaining SGT was there.Will have to go back another day, give 'em the story and see how I go.I'm a regular customer so would like to think Ok.Only $20 but hey ... Still $20. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
