Ughhhh, the genius did it again. I put small amounts of food in the tank and apparently she felt the urge to eat it all again. Not only is she bloated, she has become a balloon.... I tell ya she's making me crazy.

Yes she is. This is her every time she eats.. I used to feed a couple times a week because she'd do this but with the smaller guys in there I've increased it a little. Hopefully she farts soon.
My ornates (2 of them) hide most of the time so I an surprised they get any food (must eat when I am not looking). My lady and male are both healthy and large. I am surprised how much more girthier the ornates are in comparison to other bichir species.
I feel everyone's pain after my female lives her life I will not want anymore Ornates.
they are so cute though. 
Hope my 5" ornate doesn't become a jerk(it will happen probably). Fingers crossed.
How does bloat happen that badly in ornates? Is it just the amount of food they consume? (I'm new to bichirs and ornates)

Yes its to much eating, poor water, but most of the time its eating habits, we cant stop them on how many pieces they eat.
I wish my ornate would eat like that. The belly is big but I wouldn't call it bloat yet. Just keep an eye on that ornate.
