Dang, possum-playin' Clown!

Post by jswledhed »

I been pretty worried about my little Clown Pl*co the past week or so. He just stopped eating. I gave him a better selection than I eat, zucchini, hulled peas, sweet potato, blanched broccoli. All this in addition to spirulina tablets and a big chunk of bogwood for him to chew on. Nothing doing, his stomach just sunk in and kept sinking. All the H2O parameters were good, NH3, NH4, NO2, all nill plus I have a planted tank so the NO3 levels are kept in check. pH between 6.8-7.0, temp 78-82 F.

Anyhoo, I found the little guy today with, whooda thunk it, a full belly. :o As I type he's chowin' down some yellow squash. :D

Anybody else had any hunger strikes out of any of the pl*co species?
And in the evenin' when the sun is sinkin' low,
And everybody's with the one they love,
I walk the town, keep a-searchin' all around
lookin' for my street corner girl.
