He now has an identical pattern of spots around each eye, starting to look similar to spots I've seen on my catfish before that had something to do with the lymphatic system (I think)..... Photos to come...
My male blue ram has strange white "pimples" on his head, doesn't look like whitespot, no sign of "fluff". The spots are slightly raised and seem to be fairly regularly spaced around one eye, in between the eyes and a single spot on the other side. The tank was recently treated with a gentle...
Oh well, like I said, thought it was a bit odd-looking, were a gift from someone moving continents, they must be about 4.5" at the moment so I wasn't expecting an 8" fish fully grown! So, despite them not being dwarfs, do you have any idea how long before I see fry, or if not a link to a forum...

My geophagus brasiliensis have just finished with laying their first clutch, the female was laying a bunch of eggs at a time, the male fertilised them then the female scooped them into her mouth, which is a little different to what I've read. I was under the impression that the eggs were laid on...
My juvenile lamp. calvus has recieved a nasty bite just behind his gills from a juli. marlieri. I've stuck him in a breeder cage to seperate him (I haven't got another tank with tanganyika style water for him to go in). As the difference in size between them is considerable, the bite is quite...
My community tank with various dwarf cichlids was doing fine until I introduced a borelli about 3 months back. First there was an outbreak of whitespot, the treatment of which killed my honsloi. Then, one by one, my crenicaras all died. The filimentosa was the largest so I took it to my local...
