Help, sick P. waltl

[kenwallac]

Hi,

I have a large tank with four P. waltls in it. The only one I have seen grasped in amplexus has become skinny and kind of floaty. She spends a lot of time hanging around near the surface in plants. Every time I feed them she gets plenty of bloodworms, she is really skinny though in the lower abdominal area, you can see her ribs and spine. She wasn't this skinny a couple of months ago. No other visible signs of illness.

Stress? Any ideas?

THanks

Are bloodworms the only thing their diet consists of?

 

[kenwallac]

Yes mostly. I fed them salmon pellets but they wouldn't eat them.
