Fotunately and probably it only was an occlusion: the fish restarted to eat and the the belly is completely deflated.

My L177 has a problem: since 2 days it does not eat the zucchina and neither the echinodorus any more and by now I noticed that it visibly has the belly swells. From what i can see i also think that he does not produce excrements.What can i do?Intestinal occlusion or internal bacterical attach?

And what do you think about a big anubias?Are also the anubias eaten by baryancistrus?

I had an ancistrus before but it didn't eat the bleheri. Nothing to do: two days ago i tried to replace the destroyed bleheri with the barthii but it's the same. Just the morning after the new echino has been eaten and also now, that the lights are off, i see disconsolately that devil :twisted ...

The problem is that i give him always some zucchine but the situation is the same

Spinach and ricotta tortellini?I know them very well, i understand but the baryancistrus is not italian ...

Hi, my L177 had completely destroyed the echinodorus bleheri. I know that echinodorus barthii and echinodorus osiris are not eaten by baryancistrus. Can you comfirm it?

I'm sure that the ph in the shop was higher, about 7, i have 6.8-6.7 (the shopkeeper said to me that he uses 50% RO and 50% tap water, i use less tap water, 20%) so the difference in down shouldn't be so dangerous, isn't it?Anyway i tried to acclimatize it well.

Today i saw it breathing a little slowly and what makes me happy is that the little baryancistrus is always lively when i give the food: it comes out from the hidding place and eats with the sterbays trying to drive them away. An other question: it keeps the fins lowered, it raises them when it ...

This is my 2° post and is a request of help. Yesterday i bought an L177, 2" long. I am worried about it because i don't think it's in good healt conditions: i have counted the breaths now that the lights are off, it breaths 24-29 times in 10 seconds (so 144-174 breaths per minute!I think that it b ...
