Rescued An ENDLI (Handicaped) - Advice Needed.

[vinson vr]

Greeting Guys,

Yesterday, i went to LFS to buy some stuff (I am form Malaysia, Kuala Lumpur).

Accidentally found this poor little guy , he was left alone behind in a small little fiber box.

Was told by the LFS owner, he kept this Endli for 5 months, can't sell it due to its odd/weird looking pattern.

Was pitty, he was so Skinny, without any hesitation, i decided to grab/buy him home (sold to me just US$10).

========================================================

This ENDLI was like 8 inches long at the moment.

He was :

(1) Blind in one side.
(2) Bend/Crook body.

---=======================================================

So far, He was fine in my 70Gal tank since yesterday. But just, He has not start eat anything yet. He looks weak & didn't hardly swim around at all.


Pictures as attached.

======================================================

Dear Guys, out there. My question.

WHAT SHOULD I DO ???!!??
Will him be safe? Can he survived? Does him need any Medication??


Thanks.
Regards, Vinson (Poly's Lover & MFK )

This poor little guy has only ONE EYE, me & family, we named it ONE EYE !!!

I hope he will be fine.

try prepared food (tilapia or shrimp) soaked in garlic, or if all else fails try live food. He's probably stressed to the max and getting used to his new surroundings not to mention being neglected for so long. Give him some time to settle in.

Probably u are right. It's has been just 28 hours in a new home. He needs to settle down, just that i am OVER WORRIED. Well, i would have try Shrimp meat cut slices. Will do it now.

28 hours is nothing for a bichir haha. When I bought my koliba he didn't eat for a solid week. Yours will be alright once he realizes hes safe.

Yeah it will be okay, predators can go quite a while without eating. I just picked up an endli with one eye and one with two

That's awesome of you to rescue him, he's a cutie. Hope he settles in fast

Unique fish, that is a fine pick up and good on you for taking it home. It will settle in fine, just needs time

Nice endli! You should have nothing to worried about! But is this a wc endli? Or my eyes are playing tricks with me? The patterns and color base look like WC!
