Hi again Linny

How are it's scales? IME barbs can just be fat or look it because of their body shape. It could be bloated. How much do you feed/how often?

 

[Linnyuk]

HI CHEESE,
BECAUSE OF MIXED TANK.
FEED 1-2 ALGEE WAFERS 1-2 BOTTOM FEEDER TABS (sml)
AND SOME FLAKE NEARLY EVERY DAY.

OCCASIONALLY WHEN I GET TO FISH SHOP I BUY 2 BAGS BLOODWORM AND 2 DAPHNIA......USUALLY ONCE A MONTH. 8)
