Overfed Fish

[Dieses Madchen]

My husband put too much food in the tank! And the little piggies are all bloated!!! How long should I fast them for?

 

[Fishy friend2]

if i were you i would fast for 2 to 3 days, or until they no longer look bloated

Poor little guys....look like they swallowed marbles.

Should I feed some peas in a couple of days?

 

[Cossie1111]

Feed them peas if theyre constipated

 

[Dieses Madchen]

If the bloating doesn't go down, then I'll feed peas...poor little piggy fish..

 

[Fishy friend2]

I hope they get better!

Wow how much food did he put in? I always tell my mom 1 pinch in the morning and 3 small pinches at night whenever I'm away and I always get back to slightly bloated fish and a mom saying they were still eating so I did 3 pinches this morning and 4 at night. At least they weren't too bad.

Hope they get better soon!!!!

I peeked in on them this morning and my Synodontis came out from under his rock. OH MY!!! That is a fat lil catfish!! I was like, "Oh no, not you too!!!"

That sounds like me on Christmas Day shortly after my Christmas dinner!

I know I shouldn't laugh, but it is kind of funny

I love how this guy here has a smile on his face, like "Yeah, I ate it all. So what?"

My poor fat catfish

I Third! That is absolutley priceless! !


These are the first pics I have seen of your tanks D, and they are gorgeous! My female clown looks like your synodontis does ALL the time! She fights Fury my fire oscar for food, ballsy little #29###. I feed a huge meal once a month right before I do my 90% water change. I do 50-50-50-90.


I use algae wafers to keep everybody pooping on schedule. Fury looks like a dog fetching a frisbee cuz she picks it up whole and swims around with it until it is soft enough for her to shove in her mouth. I love that monster!
