New Fh Acting Weird!

Hi guys!

I bought this beautiful short body FH a few weeks ago. We were so excited to bring him home and we did all we possibly could to make his new home a comfortable one. I am not a newbie as I have been keeping Fhs for years.

This guy is a little more than 3.5 inches and as you can see here in the pic, has quite a hump and pearls too. What turned our joy into a nightmare was when he began acting weird a day after he arrived. He would dart in the tank and would turn on his stress lines 24/7! He would eat when fed but would otherwise hide behind the filter or go really dark all of a sudden.

All it would take is for someone to walk across the room or for us to switch off the aquarium light and he would go crazy. The Ph and nitrate levels in the tank are normal and the water is not hard either.

Initially we thought that he needs to get used to the new place and would settle down in a week or two but it has been more than 3 weeks and he still remains terrified. We have tried everything form adding aquarium salt to removing the background wallpaper to make him relax but nothing seems to help.

Since he was shipped to our residence, we did not have the choice of checking him up before we brought him home. The shipping was for less than an hour, though.

We noticed a small white swelling outside his gill pad and although it has neither decreased not increased in size over time, it still worries us. Could that be the reason why the fish is acting weird. Have you guys faced such a problem?

Any advice on what to do would be really appreciated. If he remains like this for another few weeks, we may have to give him away. Its sad because we do like him and want to keep him but his behavior is driving us up the wall.

Do give me your opinions!

Thanks!!

What Do You Think Of This Guy?

I saw this 3.5 inch FH and think he looked really beautiful.

What do you guys think about:

- Its hump and color potential
- Breed
- the maximum size he would grow into

Chingmix Finally In India!

I have been trying to get hold of a regular supply of Chingmix for ages and recently I managed to get a pack from a reseller. The thought of waiting for weeks for a pack of Chingmix to arrive from another corner of the globe was pretty sad. Thankfully, now we have our own Chingmix distributor!

Thank you to all those who have been responsible for this!! Some have been directly involved in the process and of course there are others who have been putting in the efforts from behind the scenes (you know who you are).
I am a proud Chingmix member and I will always continue to be.

Humpy is finally on Chingmix and I can see some improvements....will definitely post some pics soon. God Bless!

So What Can You Tell About Him?

Hi Everyone! I finally managed to upload these pics of my FH Humpy.
This is my first FH and I have no idea what breed he is or if he has potentials.
Do give me your comments :)
I am open to suggestions :)
