He's doing some weird thing like he's throwing up. Has anyone ever experienced their bichir doing this? He ate about 6 hours ago, he digested it, and now, 6 hours later, he threw up. What's goin' on??
8" Senegal Bichir throwing up?

lancefish in the morning,though the CK usually eats most of it. In the afternoon I feed him pellets.
My endli threw up when she ate too many feeders once. Either that or he could have a blockage, but if it was only one time I wouldn't think so.
I am gonna lay off feeding the senegal and the CK for a little bit. Gonna let them clear their bellies. When the CK gets hungry I get nervous...he's 13-14".
how much food does it eat at one time. bichirs when you feed them you notice they try to compress food down which is why they try to eat alot at one time. try to maybe feed a lil less pellets? what of the food his he throwin up? or is it both types of food you feed?
I really couldn't tell. Maybe it was pellets, because it was a mess nothing that looked like anything...just particles. So, probably not the lancefish.
he is either eatin an gettin full on the lance an tryin to eat the pellets an just cant either slim down the pellets or stop feedin pellets all together unless u go with half lancefish just for the ck an pellets later for the bichir.
Its Very common for this too happen.. usually when bichirs overstuff themselves ( reason being in the wild the chance on food ). if they r unable to compresse it in the right manner (pellets for this case as they dun get them in the wild ) they will naturally throw up.. i once watched my endi stuff in too much.. and the same thing happened.. so there is nothing to worry about..
