Hello,
when I got my wild caught Apistogramma "Abacaxis", the female was very skinny (even had a sunken belly), dark and shy.
After treating her for worms three weeks ago she colored up a bit, behaves normally and gained a bit of weight. But she still does not eagerly eat anything. She currently really likes BBS, but ignores pretty much everything else. I tried tubifex and white mosquito larvae for the past weeks, trying to get her to eat those instead of only bbs. The female is eating a few white mosquito larvae everyday, bot not as agressively and not as many as all my other Apistos.
I repeated the deworming Nematol yesterday.
Pic shows her poop today
Her poop is still mostly white for now. But what worries me the most is that she is so picky.
Do you think I should treat her for protozoans as well? Or should I just try to fatten her up? Any other Ideas?
I never had a problem like this before.
Thank you in advance
Manuel
