Lookie what I got!

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Grr. They don't want to eat for me. They're not shy and will swim right up to my face and wiggle at me, but they won't eat. I've tried frozen blood worms, a few sinking pellets, beef heart, krill and even flake and they don't want anything. How are their feeding habits normally?

Plus there's another thing that concerns me. The sen tends to swim around and bump into things. Do they not have good vision or could mine possibly be blind/partially blind? Maybe he's just dumb.

It was pretty stressful sitting in the bag for a few hours, then the ride home, then in a new tank.

When bichirs get major stress like that, they hold off on eating until they settle in, but they always eat sooner or later.

Bichirs are also very clumsy and do bump into decor in the tank from time to time.
 
lol MMk. They actually ate some bloodworms that night, but I forgot to update. I'm so used to greedy eaters that I worry easily. They're very curious now and bumping into stuff less, but the sen tried to swim up the python this morning and I was lucky to catch him right as he swam in.:screwy:

Not that I'm cock blocking my buddy Cohazard but I have two angels to trade if interested. I got a teeny weeny delhezi at the meet like you. Get some tiny guppies and they're go crazy eating. At this size blood worms work best.

It's cool man, I want the fish, not the owner :ROFL:

But seriously...I thought I got a regular Senegal, but I was nicely surprised to find out that it was a Long Fin.

I'm sure it was those are not common! Do you know who got the big one?

Angry face is cool enough to trade me hers :D


Is yours eating yet Ben?
 
My delhezi is eating like a king but he has to work for his meal. I have like 50 guppies and 5 ghost shrimps in the QT tank.

Serg, get your mind out of the gutter. I was extending my hospitality and knowledge to local members. Do you still remember one year ago when I told you all bichirs looked the same.:ROFL:
