Delhezi gourging itself

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
How long it been like that? Looks like the piece of food whatever it was where to big for it. I'd be really carefully I had a 3" delhezi that died because it choked on it's food. All because it could get it down and, either to suborn to throw it up or couldn't.

That was yesterday just after I feed them. Its cut up shrimp, small pieces he just ate a bunch of them. Today he looks smaller
 
His mouth able to shut? Mine got it stuck in it's throat.
 
Good becareful nobody likes losing polys
 
I'm a little jealous, my delhezi only eats a piece of food a day then swims away while everyone else is chowing down. Hasn't grown in months.

Good to hear your del is doing ok!

I want him to grow but not die in the process. I had a Senegal that was a glutton and he grew quick! Until he jumped out :( r.i.p.
 
its stomach is still got a little pooch but its mouth is shut now.

Nice looking del. A little pooch is ok; a fat poly is a happy poly I think. You could feed a couple times a day instead of a big serving to keep him from gorging but as long as the shrimp are diced small I wouldn't worry about it. I swear my del at 5 inches ate more than my 9 inchers.

The problem is there are a lot of fish to feed can't help if he gobbles it all up before the others get it
