Yeah I'm not sure what it is but I have seen it happen one or two other times. It just wasn't this bad. I never really saw her struggle as bad as she did this time but all is back to normal.
I find it hard with my crew since the Pollli is still a baby and not quite 6 inches. The Moke is 7+ and the Del is 9. I feed 2 days in a row (one pellets, then one fish, krill or earthworms) and then fast a day, then 2 days in a row, fast, etc.
Should I wait until the Polli is 8 inches to go to every other day for everyone? Right now she is really hungry all the time so I even feel bad skipping a day but she gorges herself so I think it's safer.
Opinions? I guess I could still do the 2 days in a row but feed a little less each feeding? She houses food and finds it faster than any other poly.

)I usually start to skip feedings when their growth starts to plateau. For upper jaws it's that 6-8 inch range with exception to ornates and weeksii. Ive done this before with other fish. Just to avoid overfeeding/bloat and to increase their activity.I find it hard with my crew since the Pollli is still a baby and not quite 6 inches. The Moke is 7+ and the Del is 9.

My polli is like 9inch roughly and has the most growth. 2nd is my del at 9 inches. Moke is at 9inches but had it for years. In dead last is my retro.
How long have you had them? How long have they been at those lengths?
I got the Del in mid-Dec at 6", she is way girthier now and 9"
Got Moke in mid-Jan at 5.5-6 and only about 7+ now.
Got Polli 1.5 months ago at about 4", now just under 6". Piggy.
Not sure when the Del will slow down in length, maybe now?

I feed my sons sen every other day, i dont mind them growing slow than normal rate, i learned my lesson on my first UJ when i feed everyday and over feed them. Ill see beer belly and bloating and i dont wanna do that again.
I've had all for several years. I'd have to go back and check. I never power fed my fish just my preference. Hard to know how long they have been this length. The del should around the 9 inch mark. Mine has definitely slowed as my others have some noticeable size changes.How long have you had them? How long have they been at those lengths?
