Air bubble?

[DRteugelsi]

Not sure what happened but after I was catching the cichlids to head to the LFS I noticed the teug couldn't get her back half to stay on the ground so now shes just hanging out at the top. I'm pretty sure its an air bubble problem. Are there any things I could do to help her out. I know I've seen remedies for this in the past but the search isn't finding anything...

On a brighter note I messaged Toyin and may be getting my hands on one soon. He told me to check back this weekend but if he does end up with one, I may just have to make a terrible/good decision haha

nice! I feel like cb teugs are prone to these minor air bubbles. Mine has had this happen a couple times, only to have it clear up a few hours later without any treatment

I think most young polys are prone to air bubbles cause of the everyday feeding. Once they become 8"+ size then you switch to eavery other day feeding or every three days feeding, they will have time to digest the food before eating again.
