Polypterus Ornate overeating

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I'm not 100% sure that she's just bloated. In a couple of days she'll be back to normal. I'm serious this happens every time she eats.

I personally don't feed my adult polys every day every two days imo gives them time to properly digest foods such as fish.

She probably cant digest her food properly thats probably whats causing the bloat, it cant be internat parasite because if she did have it she wont eat, i had a albino that had internal parasite and didnt eat for like a month, she ended up dying before the med i order form amazon came. I think she got it from eating feeders thats why i stop praticing feeding live.

What other fish you have in the tank, just want to ask cause im not sure if other fresh water fish can tolerate salt, so other people viewing this thread can give better advice if you have other fish in your tank. If only poly's i would still do epsom salt treatment, it wont hurt to try.:)
