i have 3 snakehead fries each around 4 inches. they have been devouring mollies for days but now they just wont seem to eat them. havent been eating for 3 days. i ve tried small catfish but it doesnt seem to work either! please help! thanks :)
 
yeah give them a few days or even a week and take all the feeders out,sounds like normal behaviour to me
 
hmm they used to be pretty active swimming through the caves and stuff. now they all stick to the surface and not moving much..doesnt look good after they stopped eating :confused:

I agree sounds like they pigged out big time and are to stuffed to move.I wouldnt sweat it bro just cut back on the feeders. At 4" 1 or 2 mollies a week is plenty.
 
hmm yea i guess so, pigged out pretty much 4 days ago, but now stomaches are flat! dont really look stuffed. sorry guys im a newbie at channa fishkeeping! thanks alot again!:)
 
:cry: my 3 channa babies just died. sank to the bottom with some slimy stuff on their bodies. RIP little fellas.. anyone can give a probable explanation? :confused: thanks!
 
man that sucks, i cant say what you problem was with out some more info,when i first started i lost a micro about the same size,i put that down to over feeding,the feeders i was giving was way to big,,,maybe if you keep them agien you should have just one,,,,,sorry for your loss
