L14 Sunken Belly

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Prazipro is certainly a good option. One of my royals came in w a super sunken belly and I treated with "parasite clear" at the time in a qt tank. That med has prazi and metrodiazole. He pulled though and i still have him. Keep us updated.

Just wanted to update this post. Turns out it might have been an issue of under feeding. The tank is highly competitive, and I rearranged the woodwork so that the koralia pump blows down over and through it. This forces pellets to stay behind the current if I intend for it to go back there. As a result, he has been able to feed nonstop unmolested and I guess since finally getting a taste of those xtreme carnivore pellets, he's realized he has some body weight to throw around if anyone enters his hovel.

His belly is no longer sunken and he is starting to fatten up. :)
