To all you ONE EYED bichir owners out there

[JESToner]

just wondering how they are doing? i just bought a small 4 inch, one eyed buettikoferi "gold dust" (ironic how the end of the pronunciation ends with the sound "eye")
and i haven't seen any bulge in his belly since i got him, most of my other polys his size seem to get plenty to eat and thier bellies bulge after feeding, ive never seen anything in his mouth...

i know they have really strong sense of smell, but im wondering is his blindness is handicapping him. he is the smallest in the tank but i hope it doesnt stay that way

Well the one-eyed senegal I have has ended up being smaller then the rest of my poly collection but is healthy looking and still feeds well.

If it isn't infected or anything, one eyed bichirs do just fine.

I've got a one eye jack Lapradei, Endi and Weeksii. All have superb appetite. But if they are in a comm, they will tend to lose out as their ability to feed is some how much slower than the rest, so ensure ample food for them so these slow eaters get a piece of whats theirs. Enjoy ur new fish!

My one eyed bichir thrives, but he lives in my pants.
