Regal Rescue

[Ben jammin]

Here are pics of him this morning. You can see the lymph seems to be subsiding, I think.

Hopefully it gets better

Seeing your latest pics, I'm almost positive that's just Lympho. Only other possibility I can think of is a Columnaris infection. If you can ever get him to eat, he'd probably benefit from some antibiotic treatment in QT.

I wrote the thread linked above - my regal is now eating anything I throw in there... Except clam on a half shell and the commonly referenced ideas. None of them work. Eats anything frozen other than clam.

Live black worms are an absolute must. Mine would have died long ago if not for them. Order them online http://www.aquaticfoods.com/worms.html

Just PayPal them the amount corresponding to the amount you want, they last up to two weeks with daily through rinses in very cold water, and in the description when you pay via PayPal put in your address. It's a needed dietary requirement for all fish because nothing we offer them has fish oil.

Good luck! Keep us posted

Is it possible to cultivate these things? $30 every two weeks is a bit much.

It's possible, but not something my wife wants left around, or without equipment and what not. I think Paul keeps and breeds them.

He built a worm keeper he talks about here: http://www.saltwatersmarts.com/feeding-blackworms-healthy-marine-fish-whiteworms-3124/
