my newest,... blue oranda..

[dixienut]

i really need to stay away from petstores,..lol but i couldn't refuse this pretty blue girl/guy,.. i call it a girl,.. looks like one in the face,.. anyway,

she was so pretty and blue then i had to buy a critter keeper just to get her home,.. they wanted to put her in a small bag, and i had an hour and half drive home,.. so i said to do it this way and to just scoop her out with specimin container as she was a bit big,.. and they did as i said they rinsed out kritter keeper with net soak and rinsed it well and then added water and then her, and she was buckled into the passenger seat, and had a good ride, home,.. then i noticed she had some orange spots in her,..lol probably why she ended up at pet store instead of online,.. but i love her any ways







she loves to swim into the power head and get a face full of bubbles,..lol so silly,..

thanks; i thought so myself,.. lol i spent over an hour telling myself i don't need her and the price for a large oranda is pricey but i melted every time i looked at her,..lol oh well
i put her in the 55 with my other new baby orandas and i want to treat the tank with salt for ick,.. that might be there,.. but just as a precaution,, and i have some prazi comming from ebay to treat them all ,.. so i figured to just put them all together so i can treat one tank and thats it besides i didn't want her to be alone, and go under treatment, as that would stress her too much,..

any recomendations for temp for treating ick for goldies,.. and how long,.. as i don't think over 86 degrees would be tolerated to well being goldies,..

one of the smaller ones looks like it might have 1 ick on its wen, but really hard to tell, but just want to nip it in the bud asap
