Mesonauta Insignis

Post by Henrik »

My question is about deformed M.Insignis fry. My pair is wild.
All my fry got deformed fins, four batches so far.
I have tried to be wery careful with waterparameters.

Anyone have any ideas to what couses this to happen?

Regards

Hi Henrik,

It could be many factors, your fish could have bad genes, even if they are wild. Do you use any chemicals to hatch the fry?? Methelene Blue, Acriflavin can all cause deformities, as well as poor water conditions.
