My bichir's fins are clasped to its sides?

[DOTARUINEDMYLIFE]

Bought a wild palmas polli with cohazard together from toyin.

My polli was acclimated into the tank yesterday, and has been pretty stationary and not moving at all much. His fins are clasped to the side. What could be the possible reason for this? I wouldnt wanna think about losing him.

Have you noticed any aggression from your other bichirs? Especially the weeksii?

My baby dels were keeping their fins close to their bodies yesterday because the small buett is attacking them every chance it gets.


I'm going to guess that it's pretty stressed right now. Your tank is a lot brighter than the tank I had it in, so I would either leave the lights off a couple days, or just give it more time to settle in.

Jeff, just give me the polli palmas. I have senegals for trade. The fish is probably stressed. If you tank has a bright flamer pink background like Serg said then you may want to cover your tank up with a dark towel.

Yeah lights off and cover with towel. Then, peek in every now and then to make sure he isn't clamping due to sickness to being picked on.

Gotcha. By the way joe & serg. The bichirs I got from you guys are still doing great and pretty active =D

Jeff, give me my delhezi back. I'll buy it back from you. You can hang onto your polli. We got some today. I'll let Serg tell you more.

The sen too, I picked her out when she was 4 inches, I bet she's a beast by now


Any change in the polli's condition?
