Hey guys I have a RBP that I rescued from my LFS ... it origonally cam in the same size as all the other P's but got picked on and they ate his eye...so I took him home and am going to raise it back to health... its been doing fine now without any other P's to pick on it now for a few weeks now.
I was just wondering if anyone else has anything they can comment on about one eyed P's TY in advance
humm they can still see pretty well, I have a p they only got half of one of his eye. hes doing fine, or he'd be eaten. he also seems to be the first to eat.
Innes is right they do fine. Fish have a lateral line which senses motion, so that helps the P stay alive. But it would be better to keep it solitary or he might lose that other eye and then your left with buying him sunglasses and a piano.
Hey, i had 7 in a 33 gal. They were babies, but one lost its right eye in the first 5 minute in the tank. He lived for another 6 weeks. However it wasn't even half the size of the others, and the other day i found his skeleton.. they ate him. Now i have six.
i also got a red with one eye i bought for my lfs. he was 5" when i got him now hes 7" and i still have him in my 180gal with reds that are larger then him. ive had him for about a year now. hes my favorite red. my buddy named him eyeless. :laugh: . when i turn on the light in the room,insted of darting to the corner of the tank to sit. he swims on his side to protect his only eye from the light. i love him :rockin:
