Yeah cb sen are know for bloating from being over feed, they dont know when to stop feeeding and they having hard time to digest, also gas and air builds up and can cause bloat. I had a few that happened before and its such a pain to cure.

They're looking good! Some sens don't grow a tonne, depends on feeding. Mine has grown from 14cm to 16cm in a year with light feeding of pellets and cockroaches. My previous two were 17cm at 2.5-3 years due to water restrictions a while back (very few water changes and less food)

Excited to see how these grow.

Looking forward to see their progression.
Their maximum size of 8-10 inches (never heard of a 2 foot wild sen) being captive bred should be easily reached nice and fast!
Great fish keeper keeping great fish!
