For my New VF, I had feed her with Frog and SW(Must sure it does not sink to the bottom). Now my VF only eat whatever is flooding on top and does not bother anything which has sink to the bottom even over night. |

my xback deleveloped drop eye after about 5 days of gorging on frogs. He was about 8-9 inches then and took about 30 baby frogs a day. That was when i first bought him and i guess he was a lil stunted when he was still at the fish shop. Controlled his diet subsequently and fed him less frequently and with smaller amounts each time. Also changed him over to crickets and sw. The problem resolved after about 3 months. My hypothesis?
1. Diet higher in fats content 2. Sudden and large increase in diet (compared to consistent feeding) 3. Genetics which affects the metabolic rate of the fish (which i am sure varies just like how it varies in homans) or external conditions which can affect the metabolic consumption rate of the fish eg water movements, size of tanks, temperature, activity of fish 4. Not so sure about re other external environmental conditions which have been implicated eg bare bottom, tank too high or low etc. so can't comment |
