fahaka squinting eyes

Post by defool89 »

My fahaka ate. Big meal and all was good. I alked away did some things and walked back and saw his eyes were getting smaller and smaller then they just disappeared. Although it looked hilarious I got a bit concerned I stuck my fish net in and spooked him, his eyes popped back out and he swam away quickly...hass anyone seen that before???

Yes first time I saw this I thought mine was dead and his eyes had been eaten. It turns out this is how they close their eyes. It is friggin hilarious once you know what it is
It's amazing how easy maintenance is. If done regularly and thoroughly

What a relief I though he was dying, having a stroke or something. Very odd to just see them shribble away. I wish I took a picture, I would have entered it in potm.
