Over feeding Pup

[CANAMONSTER]

Twice now my little marble after eating alot of worms will just sit in one spot and not move with the back of his disc flared up breathing heavy. He then seems to poop and he becomes active again the next day!

He looks to be obviously stressed is this a normal thing if you over feed or are the worms I have bad or something?

My pups do it to. No different then when you or I eat to much they need a minute to let it all settle.

Do you have a smaller tank to move the marble to?

Not really, I'm having a hard time with the wild female, getting her to eat. That's why he sucks up all the worms.

I would put a divider in the tank, until u can get the female eating well otherwise the male will probably always eat the lot.

I had this issue with some WC Hystrix pups some time ago, one would eat until it appeared constipated/over loaded.
Set up a divider and reduce the amount you feed, perhaps feed a little less but more often

I would feed him a little less. Rays being sluggish after feeding is perfectly normal, mine do it aswell. I'm just a little worried of how much his disk flares up.

Thanks fellas,

Normal bud. But in all honesty I'd divide the tank so the less established Ray has a chance to eat what it needs. Love the marble.
