i ask this question because like two weeks ago me and other member messiner traded some fish i gave him a delhezi that i raised with a endlicheri while i had him he was always out-eating my endli and now that messiner has him hes having trouble getting him to eat could it be that the del is going through depression lol cause he it was the more peronal one out of the two so im thinking maybe it feels lost now and i think since bichers have been around so long they have had to develop "feelings" right? or am i just crazylol :screwy:
 
thanks for the link MRRngr but i wanna keep this one going in the polypterus section to try and help out messiner he said hes tried all fav foods of bichers (even earthworms)and it doesn't eat anything:confused: maybe someone has advice to stimulate appetite again?
 
turn off the lights and put live food he may want to hunt. i hope this does not happen to my third ornate when he goes to my brothers new tank.:WHOA:
 
i put in a shat load of silversides and am pretty sure he ate:thumbsup:
 
bichirs hate to be caught and put into another tank. Whenever I did that before, my bichirs, who where nosy handfed friendly fish, became cowards for a year, who refused to come out of their hiding spots. They ate only in the dark. I specially noticed that, as they knew me. They reacted differently with other people.
