Stunted Fahaka?
Posted: Wed Mar 15, 2023 1:36 am
Age: 7 months
Diet: krill, bloodworms, squid, beefheart
Size: 4”
Tank size: 75g
Parameters:
PH - 7.6
Ammonia - 0
Nitrites - 0
Nitrates - 0
I got him as a fry, he was about an inch long. He’s been in a 75 gallon ( have a 180 cycling) his entire life with tons of stuff to explore, etc. feed him twice a day and each meal is a different food. Currently treating him for external parasites with prazipro due to a red spot on his pectoral fin. His eyes seem proportionate, and his back seems not very curved.
Could I’d be parasites? I treated him when brought home from the lfs.
He seems happy, and stomach is not sunken in, doesn’t seem stressed either.
Any ideas? Just curious as to why he hasn’t grown too much?
Or could it be the tank size?
