Bichir not eating 4 days after eating bloodworms

[BichirMohawk]

I fed my bichir frozen bloodworms 4 days ago and it hasn’t eaten ever since. Is it possible the bloodworms can cause constipation this long?

It can. Is it’s belly swollen or big? Post some pics.

Seems not thin or not too thick, thanks for the reply.

Don’t look bad. Could be just constipation. Try some pellets or cut up tilapia.

How long did you leave the BW in the tank? Have you tried feeding with the overhead tank lights off?

you could add some salt to help it move things along

You mean epsom salt right?

Think that’s what he meant.

yes Epsom salt. I forget that not everyone knows that. definitely not table salt.
