babies are doing great and most have their head stripe in. They are fed TDO B1. the last batch of eggs fungused over and most didn't make it. only 11 were still clear on hatching day. When I returned the nest after removing the eggs the onyx had taken the rest off the tile. Friday I had run out and picked up a pair of "Bicinctus" juveniles, don't know if they are really Bicinctus, the juveniles look correct but the parents did not look like bicinctus at all. since they were captive bred I didn't think about QT, and by Friday night my female Onyx is breathing fast and didn't want to eat. I was in their tank catching a large cleaner shrimp to put back in my husbands reef. So I thought maybe she is just freaked out from being in her tank and moving things around. Yesterday morning she was still breathing fast and didn't want any breakfast, and the male didn't eat either. I started freakin' out!!! Not my breeding pair of Onyx!!!! so I messaged a really good reliable source on information on what to do. the new fish must have had brook or gill flukes.  sigh!!! never again will I not QT a fish, no matter where it came from. None of my other pairs are affected by anything. My ocellaris pair #1 laid eggs, and so did my picasso/true perc pair yesterday. So I started up an 8 gallon bio-cube that a friend of mine had sitting in his garage. By a recomendation I put the Onyx in the QT tank bare bottom and added 16 drops of Formalin MS. Today the female is looking a bit better, still breatheing fast. I gave them a 10 min. dip in 1 gallon of water with .25ml of Prazipro. while they were chilling in the bucket with an airstone I cleaned out the bio-cube and changed the water. then returned the fish. I let them sit in the clean water for awhile before adding more Formalin. Hopefully they pull through this with out issues. here is a video of the female with some sort of issue and the fast breathing is visible. http://youtu.be/XSnn9BHHF5Q
