Hello,
Been about 6 years since I’ve had a volitan and I stumbled across one of the black ones yesterday. Beautiful fish, just came in from Florida and the shipment bag matched my salinity (1.025) vs the 1.018 at the LFS.
brought him home and he was in fairly cloudy water. I floated him for about 45 minutes knowing that ammonia spike upon opening the bag.I didn’t drip him for longer that 30 minutes after the temp acclimation.
I obviously know better than buying a fish before it has made into the LFS tanks however that Certainly wouldn’t have been any easier on the fish.
If someone could please post a picture or two of their volitans lungs that would be great. That’s really what I need as he’s very lethargic and has what would appear to be somewhat swollen gills. (lions have a bit of a swollen gills look anyway). I know they are tough cookies but we all tend to blame ourselves when something isn’t doing well, whether or not there’s anything that can be done. Thanks
