Missing eye

Yes, your post was it.

it was like the eye was hanging from just a
thread......

OK then, it *was* an injury, not fish TB. Just wanted to make
sure............. Frank

Thanks for your concern Frank :-)....By the way I am keeping a close eye
on the other fish just in case - it doesn't always pay to make
assumptions....

BTW having said about assumptions do you think I'm right to suspect the
two Yoyo loaches (each around 3" in size)? Tank occupants a-

3 Mollies (home bred) - used to be 4 :-(
4 Harlequin Rasboras
5 Glowlight Tetras
2 Pearl Gouramis
2 Yoyo Loaches

Tank is a 30 UK gall....

TIA

Eather the gouramis or the loaches. If I had to pick just one, I would
agree with you - trouble is, picking which loach to hang ;-)

Maybe I should persuade my son to let me move the loaches....they would
go real well in either the 47.5 UK gall where I already have two or in
the 130 gall which has 3 (about to be 6) Clown Loaches....I could offer
to buy him alternative fish for his tank....he's desperate for a
Pleco....but the one he wants is round £20-30....

Not likely to happen again - loaches just aren't that aggressive.

Ya, the LPS has a half dozen with white strips that's the neatest
looking things, but priced to high ($50.00). They have been there for
almost 2 months now, and I know (well - I think) he only paided half
that or less. The cheap son-of-a-gun won't go down (I want two) and I'm
so cheap I squeek, so we are at a stand still. He calls me whenever
something looks a little funny with the fish, or their behavior
changes, wanting me to come take a look, and treat if needed. I already
told him that two of those pleco's need to be quarantined at my house
(so I can keep an eye on them), but he hasn't bought into that one - -
- - yet ;-) .................... Frank
PS - guess nobody else wants to talk to us (in this post/thread
anyway)...............

Maybe everyone has put us in their killfile ;-)

Do you know what type of Plecs they are or the L number? They do sound
neat...one of the places I go tends to specialize in Plecs and always
have a wide variety - I have a Snowball, a Queen Arabesque and a Leopard
from there...the only time he got it wrong was with the Leopard - he
told me it would only grow to 15cm and I took the chance of taking him
on his word....what he meant was 15" - eeekkk...Fortunately the Plec was
destined for the 6 foot tank :-)

I kept up on fish names, bought the latest books etc. when I was an
active member of the fish club and part owner of the pet shops. I'm now
to that age where I could care less what they call them. They eather
don't know, or won't tell me at the pet shop eather. One of those games
between two over-the-hill guys - he knows I'm going to get them, but
have to make room for them. He wants to trade me for the two elephant
nose in that tank - trouble is, I like all my fish in the tank, and he
knows it. He *thinks* he's going to sell me a 120 gal. tank ;-)

White striped for about US$50? Sounds like a zebra. They are cool
looking, but extremely hard to find (I gave up after searching 5 months).
This is not a fish for a beginner.
