TSN threw up !?!?!?!

[new2natives]

so last night i fed my catfish, and like usual, his stomach was HUGE!!!
and now, about 18 hours later, i go back in, and all of a sudden he is skinny, and there are 1/2 eaten pellets all over around him ...

is this bad?
does it ever happen to anyone else?
what should i do now? (besides probably feed a little less)

youre probably overfeeding him. its a good way to really harm a fish. just how much do you feed him at once? it must be alot for him to purge it back up..

He'll be Okay...it natural for a cat to throw up.

 

[navygirl76]

it is? good lord-ive never seen a fish throw up, then again ive never owned a catfish..

so do they just eat it again? (sorry, not trying to be gross)

It is more common in the cats.

so should i clean the tank? and how long until i try to feed him again?

I would clean it. Feed him less next time.

Agreed.....try feeding every other day.

Yes clean it all up.
