fat perry (L134)

[Tener ds]

back off holiday and did the first water change and noticed that perry is very fat.i know she was a big girl but she is a lot bigger now.
did a water test too,all ok,no change there.
should i leave off feeding her for a while?
just add some cooked peas maybe?

 

[scatz]

i'd leave feeding for a couple of days, then try some pea's.
does she look bloated fat? or just fat?

may be bloated fat,did try to get a pic but she won,t stay still and the
lights don,t come on yet.she looks fat from half way down her from her head
if u know wot i mean,half way down her body.

Was she fed while you were away?

Agree with Scatz, hold off feeding a couple of days and then feed de-shelled peas :yes:

A picture if possible would maybe help to decide if its bloat or just gravid :dk:

she was feed 2 wafers and 1 pleco log,not sure if she had them tho.
the lights have just come on but still can,t get a pic.ill
keep tryin...

 

[Tener ds]

she,s still pooin,just sucked it all up and now addin new water....
then she goes and craps all over the place....

 

[Irene0100]

they will over eat and get bloat of you are not careful. I suggest only one wafer every other day when she is slimmer again, meanwhile go with the peas.

i would but i,ve been told that the tank is too small cos ive got other fish in there also.
just tryed for a pic but no luck..

 

[Tener ds]

Ok, here's the best pic I can get. She still looks a bit porky:

 

[Joby]

Hard to tell from that angle and to what she normally looks like but she looks fine to me compared to mine. They can get enormous when gravid :yes:

 

[816johnv]

I would say there is nothing wrong looks healthy to me

 

[scatz]

agreed, from that angle, it looks fine

 

[Tener ds]

cool,she poped out for a nano sec today after the daily water change.
she looked a bit slimer.
just 1 thing tho,if she was carryin eggs and theres no male to get busy with her
wot happens to the eggs?
i only ask cos ive sucked up 2 odd lookin poos in the last 2 days,odd as in not straight like string but more like a dogs poo,not as big but in a lump,like a small joke dog poo.

 

[Joby]

She should just absorb the eggs if no male to spawn with :yes:

 

[Tener ds]

she,s gettin slimer.
i put some peas in and she was right on em:

 

[Joby]

She looks great

My froggies also love peas :yes: they turn upside down trying to eat them :lol:

L134 are also called Leopard Frogs hence the froggies comment

Have no idea about frogs sorry :dk:

 

[Irene0100]

she is looking good. keep up the pea diet. i expect the funny poo was related to having a bit of bloat, or constipation, so the peas are working.
