Lets Show Off those Polypterus!

This is an ominous picture of my baby endli who went on a hunger strike while being the smallest in the tank. Whilst the ornate just behind it, who was a bit bigger to begin with, seemed to gorge itself and grew quite fast. This pic was taken about a week or two before I last saw the little guy... suspecting this photo tells of a grim story. Rip endlicheri
Speaking of ominous photos- here is what I wake up to when I miss one feeding of my polys
My largest and last demasoni which is fully grown approximately 4-4.5 inches give or take. These guys have eaten 160$ worth of demasoni and sadly I think it’s their favourite live fish to eat now.
But this post has some good news !! (For the moment knock on wood)
I turned my lights on and my ornate spat him out for possibly 2 reasons my demasoni may have been too big for him to swallow and 2 startled by the light. So dumped in some stress coat and put him in a basket elevated as high as I could to eliviate any pressure on his swim bladder. His eye is really messed up and one side of him looks caved in a bit.
The fun life of owning polys !! Let me go prepare them a huge feeding of scallops and talapia.

4 inches is kind of small. Inviting trouble at those sizes
Nicest lap I've ever seen
