Sad day---
One of my Mocha Vincis is starting to have a head way bigger than his body. And i can start to see his spine thru the white part of the body. I have been monitoring them over the last week to observe eating behavior. It seemed as if they both were eating just fine. But on further observation today, the frail one keeps eating the pellets then spitting them back out. Never actually ingesting. I also threw in some garlic coated mysis... and same thing unless the mysis is tiny bits of skeleton/ legs (which have no nutritional value to a starving clown).
I REALLY thought that I was going to avoid casualties this time around... I'm sad. there's no physical signs of infection. I dont know what could be wrong. The rest of the tank is very healthy and day by day the Lemonpeel gets more brave. Soon she will be a porker like the Valentini.
