I have two P. sens abt 3.5"... ones getting really bigger than the other one coz its basically a glutton 0.0... well the main prob would be that i notice that one of my bichirs doesnt eat well and regurgitates its meal out (the bichir's last meal would be floating on the water surface)... im really worried about it coz its being kinda erratic in its movements...
 
is the glutton the one regurgitating? i'm not sure what can be done about it, other than not feeding it for a few days, and feed less in the future, assuming thats all this is and not some internal problem.
 
i didnt actually see who was regurgitating but im guessing it to be the one tts not growing well (the one tts not the glutton). yea im already cutting the food down... hope everything goes well ><.... no changes to their activity tho... thx for the reply!!!

Keep an eye on those erratic movements. If they persist they might be being caused by a parasite. What are you feeding them btw?
 
ive been feeding them prawn mostly, abit of pork heart, ghost shrimps, sinking carnivore pellets and occasionally meal worms... well actually only ones been moving erratically...tts the thin and skinny one... ive also noticed a couple of slighly whitish patches on the scales of my bichir... could this be due to it taking a few bumps and damaging its scales?
