catcher Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 Hi all, I have a strange goings on at the moment, my Polystigma male has a slightly sunken belly but seems to be normally well. Some time ago I had a Livingstonie male that suffered the same complaint and he eventually passed on, not sure if the sunken belly was the cause but it was evident. I'm sure it's not from being under feed. My question is, what are the base causes of this complaint, why haven't any of the other inhabitants ever suffered this complaint in the same tank, and is it something that may be common to the Nimbochromis group? I have a Venustus male in the tank as well that I'll be keeping a close eye on. Any info or suggestions are appreciated. Cheers Glenn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
