Three in agreement, I think we have a winner. This now means a delhezi is now needed, lol
So the fat one did it again... I got frozen silversides yesterday and put 6 small ones in there. 2 for each fish. I know the Frontosa ate at least 1. And the hybrid looked as if he ate 1 maybe 2... her fatness is huge again. Don't mind the yellowed water.. I've been dealing with a sick grandma and a horrible diagnosis so I haven't had time to change it.
That's how I fed them the tilapia. I tried with the silvers ides but I didn't have a lot of time because I needed to get to my grandma's house. I probably should have waited to feed them but the food had already thawed.
I'm starting to wonder if there is something wrong with this fish... I fed them tilapia on Sunday. There were 10 dime to nickel sized piece that I put in the tank. All but 2 got eaten between Queen B, the Frontosa, and my hybrid. I made sure to watch them closely. This is her today and I haven't fed again since Sunday (I was planning to do so tonight).... I don't know what to do about her.
Looks like she's bloated, i would try to put some epsom salt. 1 tbl spoon per 5 gal. But dont put directly in the tank. Try to melt it first. And try add epsom salt little by little, and see what is the poly's reaction.
