my 12-14 year old alligator gars(size almost 3 feet each...about 32 n 34 inches) have stopped eating without any reason..i have kept them from about 7 years n never countered this problem....they are not eating from last sunday...its been 7 days...they used to eat like vampires....slashing water all over me every time....its a pair...n no tank mates apart from a black pleco..........they r living in these SAME conditions from more than a year (same tank mates,same fresh town water,same 500g tank..) noooooo changes were made ..
on last sunday i just fed them simple fish....(a normal eadible fish from the market, rahu)....i made pieces of it n fed it to my alligator gars.....i have a doubt ,is this possible that since it was not a WHOLE fish..its bones got stuck in them..?....i used to feed them with chicken n beef as well, apart from live fish.....but nevr a sliced fish...
last water change was a week ago...(ie 15 days ago from now)
after this incident i have changed water twice.....1/2..then 1/3...on this wed n friday....
no funky stupid gadgets...i always used simple town water...tank is 500g...
