Hi i wonder if there was any advice going... i have looked through the forums and not found an exact match to my problem.
I have had Juan 2 weeks. He hasnt been a huge eater.. he eats half a cube of bloodworm or a centimetre or 2 of earthworm a day. I looked on the forums and came to the conclusion this wasnt a big problem...he's eating and active. Since i have had him i have found a couple of pieces of gravel when cleaning the floor of his tank. Today i found 9 pieces of gravel in his tank :uhoh:
I was just sitting watching him and i saw him retching, and eventually sicked up ANOTHER piece of gravel.
While i thought he poo'd the other pieces out im now thinking he sicked them up to since it looks identical to the other pieces i found (not poo like - just gravel with whispy bits stuck to it)
Now he is floating and cant sit on the floor. Is this because he is sicking up gravel or something else?
He has worried me since I got him, and this forum has been great in answering any questions I have had, but now im totally stumped :sad:
edited to add I dont keep him on gravel... he has sand in his tank - the gravel is from his previous owner
