We had her when she was 1.5" and 18 months later she is now 6-7". She had been swimming around / near the top of the tank until recently. Starting a month or so ago, she slows down a lot and would just sink and sit at the bottom, sometimes in some awkward position for hours. She does eat and we mainly feed her silverside and occasionally shrimp, clams, snails etc from Asian supermarket. I remember when she was well fed, she's like pregnant. Now I do not see her full tummy even after eating. One thing for sure, I have never seen her poop.
There doesn't seem like any disease I can see on the body. I have moved her to my QT but it is even smaller (30G) than the 72G she was in. She does make a mess when eating and foul up the QT quickly. I am thinking about moving her back. I know 72G is still too small for her. I will soon get a 300G.
Question for you if you have a porcupine, do they get lazy and sit at the bottom resting when they get older? Or they are so smart and figure out no point swimming around unless I walk closer holding a cup. Or fatty silver I have heard?
