Nooooooooo! Thats so heart breaking. Hoping that Spring brings new life to your billabong. X *Came back after 2 years of inactivity (3 kids in 3 years ).. and HAD to check your billabong!

hes up for sale now.

I used to feed my Albino and other Babies Raw Pumpkin, skin and all. and would mix it up from week to week with Zucchini, Pumpkin, and Mushrooms (just on a weighted fork). DO you have a photo of your current setup? Sometimes an outside eye can pick up on something that can easily be passed by. <3 Happy to hear theyre being kept with the parents and the parents are dong okay.

@Jeremy3057 Your sleepy cod is such an amazing colour! I wonder if they change with age.. or just stay the way they come? Mr Bruce is fully Brown with no changes in colour except some lighter highlights Wiki'ed... They are dark brown along the back and paler on the sides, with fuzzy dark lines running along scale rows.[2] Juveniles have a white or cream patch running along the back and top of the head, with brown sides and a white belly. well there you go!

By the colour of his scales.. it looks likes hes being burnt/under alot of stress by your water.. Whats the Ph like in the tank? Did you use old water from their last tank to add to the new tank?

Hey @Grover65k Havnt been on for a while, been parenting.. HAHA! Was lovely to sit and read through whats been happening since Ive been gone.. Looks like.. Poo Filter.. fish are growing.. Waters overflowing occasionally.. And Your looking into more big fish! Well If I was to ever rehome MR Bruce (30cm Sleepy Cod) I think He would love your Billabong. I hope all is well. *Would Love a overview shot of the billabong to see plant growth and water colour* BNGIRL

Rest in Peace MR Oscar. Couldnt imagine a better home than the Billabong, but hopefully your swimming somewhere good!

Just a thought.. Have you chucked in any straw? Its natural.. bidegradable eventually.. Like the stuff you can get in cheap Bales for Chicken laying material. You could chuck it on your floating islands and it would eventually be pulled through by the fishes or will become a bit of slow release pond topping

:'( oh no! but whos going to give me hilarious names above my avatar?

@Joshwd next time your down you can buy some of my guppies (German White Tail Tuxedo) and pepermint BN in 1 go

@rainbowrunner your liking issue can be fixed by @gingerbeer and @pony-tail theyre soooo little and cute! How are they doing now? I googled Rhads and they look like an awesome fish! Do you think a Sleepy cod would eat them?

@mrzeby I compare it to online shopping, imagine if they didn't have the pictures. Selling with just descriptions. You would get the name of said couch and google it. And upon pickup you would expect it to look exactly like the photo.. as they didn't provide one.. or someone selling puppies.. Black poodle.. try googling that one Get my drift.. what Im trying to say.. Lots of fish have different colourations/growth depending on food/water quality and even lighting. Even commons! Slight rips in fins, a slightly larger fish than the rest. Its all information a good fish keeper should be looking at. Plus its always good to know what your buying EXACTLY. just my 2cents.. Im a Peppermint BN and German White Tail Tuxedo Breeder (trying Discus..) but I always update with photos of what the new offspring looks like and what is actually up for sale.
