REEVESTA Posted June 14, 2011 Report Share Posted June 14, 2011 Woke up this morning and checked on the fish, noticed the smaller albino sen has lost an eye hes in with -x2 port hoplos -another larger albino sen probably 15cm (the other is only 5-7cm) -large bgk -ck -fire eel -long fined apolo shark -and a Geo altifrons I think this bichir is badly stunted (he hasn't grown in a year since I got him :roey: ) and always has problems eating too much Should I move him to the comunity tank or will he be fine staying where he is? :dunno: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fruju Posted June 14, 2011 Report Share Posted June 14, 2011 If it happened overnight I would bet its the CK. I did not have that problem when I had mine with my bichirs but they are agressive to an extent. If it happened during the day I would say the geo, but its unlikely. Put salt in the water (epsom), then maybe isolate it if you can, water changes. The fish will be fine without an eye, just make sure healing process is smooth. Albino bichirs are nearly always stunted. Biggest I have seen is henwards which is 20cmish. Apparently LA had one of a fair size too.

ally07 Posted June 15, 2011 Report Share Posted June 15, 2011 Yeah, bichirs don't hunt with their eyes anyway, they use their noses mostly. Just watch out for him in case the CK comes back for seconds.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
