Senegalus overfeed ...

[uwe]

Hello,

sometimes normal things are going different ways ...

I'm feeding my bichirs 2-3 times a week. I've never lost a bichir except a endlicheri two days after i got him (i got him with bacteriosis as secondary infection after a Macrogyrodactylus infection which also infected all my other bichirs - they were living not ON the endi - they lived IN him!!! So i can't see them ...).
But these days i were in big trouble.

My senegalus feed the whole meal for all tankmates. After that i thought: "OK, you had enough, now it's dinner time for the others ..." ...
He feed also the next round ...
I don't know why he did feed as much that he nearly died!

After his enourmous dinner he had a very strange look - unable to swim:

After three days he looks more comfortable:

Yeah it's scary how much they can eat! I have to feed mine one at a time so they don't do that to each other. Then they bring their food back to their hiding spots...lol.
