FISHIOLOGY

With low output 21W tanning for 3 weeks. The front flowers are slowly coming back.

Fish is not subject to any special treatment, its kept in PH4. 5 comm with 4 Uaru. Water flow is fast with a 6500lph pump which is unsuitable for Marulioides.      Lighting is a LED white 50W floodlight

Tanning progressing slow, the front flower is slowly coming back. The rear white scale is slowly locking into place.

Tanning result: showing progress but needs continuing PH shock to neutralize the color. Kalimantan tolerance to PH are strong, in a short while they will adapt to the new PH environment. I've used low output T5 to grow flowers and lock the flowers with high output T5 for 4 days. During the process of locking flowers I lose young flowers. Those that just begin turning greyish silver. From the pictures below u can see I've managed to lock the front flowers of the maru. From the 2 fish that I've experimented on I can say tanning do works on the growing of the marulioides flower. But more experiment needs to be done to confirm this process. When u compare the below picture u can see the front flowers are locked but in the process I lose the young flowers in the band.  Comparing 2 weeks ago
