I have a breeding pair of I.a.alpestris. The female is fine,chunky and healthy.
The male,looks emaciated.
I feed them chopped earthworms,bloodworm (live or frozen),daphnia and the occasional chopped wax worm.
Tank wise,lots of live plants,sponge filter,been established well over a year,no ammonia etc.
The male just either spits the food back up or avoids it completely,he did eat some wax worm recently but that was it.
I don't really want to keep feeding him waxworm but would it be ok to fed him on until he gains a little weight?
Another suggestions?
Here's a few pictures of him
From the side he doesn't look too bad but from the top you can see his pelvic bones....unless that's something else.
Thankyou for your help.
