Hello, I just bought a Green terror, Dempsey, and Carpintis. I got home and noticed the Green terrors belly doesn't look quite right. Is he deformed or is it a parasite or what. I read something about sunken belly but I read it is more common in Africans. Does this look normal? Should I take him back and can my other fish get it:cry:

What does his poop look like ? I make it a habbit to treat all new fish as if they had parasites. I treat with parasite gaurd.


Noticed that you had another thread about feeder fish
There really isnt a need for them. A good pellet as a staple would be more nutritious. Omega one, new life spectrum (what i use), hikari just to ne a few.

Feeders can introduce diseases plus you dont have to go through the trouble of quarantining the feeders.

Also you could mix in a veggie based pellet like algaemax or omega one kelp pellets
