Re: BLOAT IS HERE
I will be doing business with him again. The only part that scares me is when he told me fahaka's are normally a skinny puffer. But the fish seems fine. So when I up the tank size for Bloat I will be going back to him for a congo

Re: BLOAT IS HERE
Be sure you gut-load those shrimp or he's pretty much just eating 98% water. Try meatier foods soaked in vits & garlic.
You are getting sleepy... you only hear the sound of my voice... you must do water changes... water changes... water changes... water changes...
