My recovered Purple haddoni

I see a 300+ gallon tank in your future. Those nems are beautiful and will be huge in no time.

How is the green one doing? Is it staying put now?

I definitely will be upgrading, maybe next year or so. The green one is doing fine and has been in the place you see him in the last pic in this thread for the past 3 weeks now, hopefully thats his final spot but i guess you never know. The other 2 have not moved at all so go figure.
 
Hey everyone, starting to get a bit concerned again, here is a pic of him today:



He shrunk up like this last night.....should i be concerned?
 
Wanted to post pics of him today. This morning before lights came on he was I would say bigger than yesterday, then i was out for most of the day and about 8 hours later i came home and he had shrunk to a very small size like this:



He grew a few hours later to this:



What could be bothering him? The other 2 are just fine. Here are pics of them:



 
At night then usually shrunk up a bit. The thing is his best looking better than yesterday, and his worst looking better than his worst yesterday. If both of the answers are yes, then you are in good shape. If only one answer is yes, then unknown. If both answer are no then you may be in trouble.

I would say that he is the same, not worse maybe a little better but definitely not worse. Hope he's ok. The only thing i can think of is sometimes my diamond goby swims by on top of him dropping sand on him and i've had to clear good chunks of it that fell into his mouth. Could some of it possibly got in there and this is why he's like this?
 
Glad to hear your green guy is staying put. Nothing worse than leaving home wondering where he will be when you get back.

I think your purple may still be acclimating to your tank. With consistent parameters or shall I say, consistently good parameters, I am confident your nem will be fine. I've had my purple Haddoni for a year and it deflated twice in the first six months. Now he is doing very well and seemingly getting bigger by the day.

Looking forward to watching your trio progress.:thumbsup:

I sure hope so, he's still looking the same today, when i got home he was all shrunk up again, now he's somewhat a bit bigger but still looks like the pictures i took yesterday. Should i feed him? I've only fed him twice since he recovered but not since he's been looking like this.
 
Thanks Minh, I did notice that and I moved it this morning. Wasn't easy as it was encrusted on the rock and small part of it broke off. I guess that small part will grow on its own to form a new Monti plate but that will take some time.
 
That Xenia will get sting too but for Xenia, that part died off and the rest just move away. They grow so fast and it is not easy to get them off of the rock unless you can move the rock.
You, my friend, will need a bigger aquarium soon. Better think of upgrade.
For a lot of us, the cost of our animals is much more than he cost of the equipments.
 
well, not much change in him tonight, still looks deflated somewhat.



How long do I wait before starting to consider possibly treating him again. Not even sure if I should consider that.
