Alright heres my question, see on his tail (its curled and the tip is just left of the filter) See the shiny blue stuff? What is it? I'm not really worried just curious.

 

[cameron]

I can't see it too well but I think it is okay. Maybe old skin that is ready to come off. I'm not sure what it is.

Bart has gotten fatter great job! I agree you got a really nice head shot of Bart.(S)he is one nice looking Mudpuppy. Sorry can't help you with the tail. Is there any way you can get a clear shot of just the area on the tail which concerns you? To show others who may be able to tell you what it could possibly be and if there is need for concern. Bart's looking good though. Keep Posting.

Thanks Michelle, you and Cameron seem like the only ones that post on my mudpuppy posts.

Does anyone else agree with me that the 2nd picture reminds them of that old Guns n Roses song "Welcome to the Jungle?"

 

[rebekka]

he's cute! ^_^ I really like his coloration.

 

[michelle]

Ryan,
It is a matter of if someone takes a picture I enjoy looking at I will compliment them on it. You just posted the picture and there has been more than me giving you comments. I would not take it so personally.

Hey Ryan,
I always like hearing about Bart, even if I don't comment.

 

[ryan]

Jeez. I was just making an observation, I didn't mean to sound like that, please forgive me.

 

[michelle]

Ryan,
No reason to ask for an apology. No one was being angry with you. I do appreciate the thank you though. Keep posting pics. of Bart.

I dont think Ryan was asking for an apology. He asked for forgiveness. I think there was a misunderstanding when he said that Michelle and Cameron are the only ones who post about his mudpuppy. Notice the smiley in his post, I dont think he meant it at all to be rude.
Anyway, Ryan, how did you acquire Bart? He looks pleased in his surroundings.

 

[michelle]

Ryan,
There is no reason to ask for forgiveness. You were not being rude. I felt bad when you posted that Cameron and I were the only ones who ever said anything about Bart. I was trying to tell you that you had just posted your picture.As if to say give it time for others to respond & the do not take it so personally part was trying to tell you not to get your feelings hurt because that is how you sounded. Again I do appreciate the thank you. I hope this clears things up on my end. And please keep posting Bart, I always enjoy the pictures and updates.

By the way how is Bart's tail?

The tails fine i'm just worried that he may have a fungal infection his gills, i'm not positive though.

 

[ryan]

Here is a few more, and a better look at his rock hideout, he is in the front under the overhang.

 

[ryan]

another

 

[ryan]

lastly

 

[ryan]

These last few pics show his less common hiding spot. He isn't in there usually. Maybe once or twice a week I'd find him in there.

 

[emmanouela]

Hi Ryan! Bart has very nice colours! I like his dark pink gills! But is this a fish I see in the last two pics? Doesn't he eat or chase it?! How big is Bart?

 

[ryan]

The fish you see is a white cloud mountain minnow i have one in there. There is also 1 gold white cloud mountain minnow. He ate one fish awhile ago and I saw him attempt catching another without any succsess. They do not bother him as far as I can see. Bart is a little over 9 inches long.
