Kamfa fry and parrot fish (little bit constipated kamfa)

[AlphaTintu]

Water was cloudy a day ago due to some additional filter media, it's crystal clear now.

Shifted Parrot from small to big compartment, and Kamfa fry vice versa...

Kamfa is active, healthy and doing great so far but can see poop is sticking, not as smooth as it should be during passing the poop.. I am giving epsom slat soaked pallets, and that fry doesn't eat peas, he loves pallets, shrimp, bloodworm. I stopped BW frozen dried to make sure I rule that out!

Please advise.

Please see yt video.

Stop feeding him the shrimp and bloodworm. He looks constipated. With a very big belly. Try not feeding him for a day or two and then feeding him a food with higher spurlina. Or a food with probiotics like Hikari Bio Gold Plus.

Epsom salt will help with constipation. Not entirely sure if its viable if the parrot is with fry.

Thanks both, I observed that constipation is little ease, soaked pallets in epsom salt and didn't feed anything for a day.

I used tetra flakes, little amount, and then Hikari Cichlid gold..

I will try Hikari bio gold plus. But problem is my parrot doesn't eat any Hikari product, even after crushing it in small size, The fry does eat and spit, and then eat again, but spitting most of the part.

My previous FH used to eat almost anything, veggies, fruits, any pallets anything. I had imported him from Thailand, vis USA tans shipper.

This little guy came from local breeder, and I need extra care in raising him, Something is there in local vs Thailand (Asian breed), my previous FH was always happy and eating well no matter what and how I offered him. (Well, not blaming anyone local breeder here, but it just a matter of gene and the weather they come from!)

So keeping them together and apart is based on the situation, my daughter wanted parrot because of their lovely color, appearance and playful nature, and 100 % agree with her, I love him too, And yes, as usual I wanted to have FH in the tank.. couldn't order fry before parrot pitched in... Hence now both guys are welcome in the tank and trying to keep them healthy.

Pellets with few drops of epsom salt solution is best way. Epsom salt bath helps too. Check the water parameters as well. Most of the times it water not the food. I would stick to pellets only, at least for now.
