Hello! I noticed today that Cassidy has a swollen bottom eye. He also has a scratch or burn near the underneath of the swollen area. I carefully put some silvex on the scratch burn area. I don’t think it’s a burn. A few weeks ago he had a scratch on his back leg (this resolved completely). I’m...
Thank you! Will definitely keep a good eye on it! He is a sensitive boy (lol kind of like the Texas Chainsaw guy🤣) so don’t want to bring him to the vet if it’s a simple thing. Will definitely bring him if it worsens or doesn’t improve! Thanks for the help!
Thank you! He does not ever hang from the screen or crawl on the top of the cage. He used to when I first got him but definitely not his common practice! I’ll do some neosporin and order the other stuff! Thanks
Hello! I noticed these two black spots on Cassidy’s body near his back leg. Thoughts? Thinking maybe he scratched himself on a stick… He is currently shedding. Thanks in advance! @JacksJill
Yes. Basic fish care. They are kind of dirty with their food and poop but weekly 50% water changes seems to do just fine. Our water comes from a natural aquaphor nearby so maintaining ammonia and ph levels have been very easy but I believe it can be challenging and cycling the tank can take many...
Not too sure. He is definitely stunning. His colors are great too. A little dull here as I man handled him to get his weight. He is my first Jackson but JacksJill can tell you I’m sure!
Took Cassidy out to weigh him today... he is still one ounce. At almost two years old I guess I figured he’d be bigger? Thoughts on weight? He is very shy and I give him his space. I have only actually caught him eating 5 times since getting him. He is very secretive but I am adding crickets...
