+1 it would be interesting to see the mouth thing happens with both Hawaiian and Indo... I'm sure it does but if it occurs in one more than the other

Do these fish do well in a 4ft tank or do they need more room?

A 120g size 4ft would work better that something not as wide, but like everything else in this hobby... Bigger is always better

Ok thanks. Just a standard 4ft 60 gal. LFS has two of them at 2-2.5 inches already eating pellets so I thought it could work. I guess I will pass.

I'm hooked
figured i would add my symptoms on this thread,
i just got my pyramids, they all look ok (not eating yet) but look healthy, however the only one eating is smaller and has little black dots on both sides, any ideas?
i already started the prazy dose
thinking of 2 weeks of prazy + 4 weeks of copper
Notice the black dots on the bottom of the belly, both sides are the same (also do you think the white spots on the head are transport injuries?)
at the lfs he was in a mixed tank with VERY aggressive fish

Mine all came in with the blackish splotches on their sides - maybe minor scale injuries? All seemed to heal up fine. None of mine had the white patches on their heads though. Like I've said a few times in this thread, NGP is my initial go-to med for these fish, due to my experience with mouth infections.
I would say another broad spec antibiotic like Maracyn 2 or saltwater Maracyn will do the trick as well. Are they showing signs of infection yet?
