NEED HELP w/ MY ORNATE!!

[STONEDFISH]

My ornate polypterus is "breathing" really hard and wiggling his fins a bunch, he is usually very calm. There are 4 other polys in the tank and they are acting normal, what could be the problem?!?

IME ornates are really like that they would act normal and then be skittish and shy..they are IMO the most skittish bichirs...

 

[STONEDFISH]

I did a water change... all my parameters look good. I just hope he didn't eat a rock or something. I guess I'll wait and see.

if he ate a rock you could sometimes see the bulge..lets hope not

 

[beblondie]

[STONEDFISH]

pectoral.... I don't see a bulge on him anywhere.
