Hi

I wonder if someone can suggest any ideas.

I have a pair of motoros that bread a about a year ago and produced 3 healthy pups. They bred again lately however female had a premature birth, and since then she has not been feeding. I have been doing regular wc's and added some salt but I cannot see any improvement and this is been going on for like couple of weeks now and I am starting to get worried. I have only seen her feed ones since this happened.

I was wondering if anyone got any ideas on what to do, any help will be really appreciated.

Thanks
 
is the male picking on her? she might be stressed...

the male is acting normal?
 
male was picking on her when she was gravid, so I divided her. After few days premature birth happened and she stopped feeding. So after few days I took the divider out. Male isnt picking on her now, she moves round and active but not feeding as usual. Since the birth happened about two weeks ago she has fed only once. I have seen some green poop in the tank. normally she goes around digging the pebbles and you could hear the noice. but she isnt doing that anymore almost like she's not hungry anymore.

all the other fish in the tank feeding fine(arowana).
 
shut lights off and keep tank dark... cover it if needed.... water extra pristine and keep offering food...
 
Hi Tank size: 8 foot long 3 foot wide and 32 high

I am doing extra water changes and have added salt, no improvement so far. Like Ive said I cannot see anything rong with her from outside, shes moving around fine, just not seem to be hungry and not feeding.
