A mix of Tilapia filets, Rosenberg shrimps without shell and Hikari Massivore Pellets. I cut the fish and shrimps in peaces and freeze it with the pellets in a
ice cube mold so that i dond't have to cut always when i want to feed. Two ice cube molds are enough for about a month :D
Yeah sometimes tilapia and shrimp will leave stuff hanging in their mouth.

Ok, the head shakeing stopped completely, but he has a new strange behavior^^
Sometimes he is... don't know how to say it... snapping in the water. looks i bit, like he is barking.
He seems to do it only, when he is nerfed. For example when i am vacuuming near the tank.

Has anyone had any similar experiences? Or is my poly a bit strange?

Can you take a vid? Hard to imagine it, but ive never seen my bichirs do that if im imagining correctly?
I allready tried.
But when i pull out my smartphone, he stopps.
I clean the windows with a Floaty II, which has the same size and color as my smartphone.
They realy hate it, when i clean the windows... i think because of the vibrations...
I think, they can't tell the difference between my phone and the floaty and are afraid, i could clean the window, when the see me with my smartphone^^.
But when i get a vid, you are the first ones to see it ?

What's up IgnatzMcJockel IgnatzMcJockel ,
Nice Del you have. It's so prehistoric looking. I'm having trouble seeing a white bulge. I would just continue business as usual. You said he was eating good. It sounds like he is happy and healthy. Just keep up on water changes, he looks like he's fine. GL

Thanks!
Yes, the bulge is hard to see on the pic...
iI think i might be a little bit overprotective (not 100% sure if this is the right work in english?) with my polys ?.
I'm doing a 50% water change every week... don't know if this is to much or to less, but it seems to work ?.
