hey guys, my banjo is really, really FAT!!

I'm wondering if it is eating to much or it's decided to be gravid...what do you guys think?

I'll try get a pic if it tomorow at feeding time

thanks

F.T

They have a tendency to gorge themselves and really blow up. I wouldn't worry too much about it.

i guess thats what it was

he didn't eat at all yesterday and he's lost a bit of weight

I got a bit worried after he looked like a balloon for 2 weeks

here is a pic of one of my banjo's after feeding.

MalleMalle, what do you feed that thing!?

Hah, mine barely eats at all. The only time I've seen him eat is when I've dropped a shrimp pellet close enough to his face, or he sees it, then he opens his mouth like a Hoover and sucks it all up. The other fish probably outcompete him for food. I usually drop a couple pellets in the cave he's hiding in, just to give him an edge.

HEY, that's an Agmus! or whatever it's called these days.

They're supposed to look like that; the usual Buno's are flat, these aren't.
