Illness/Sickness: Vomiting lotl

[Deleted member 20061]

So it seems I have two poorly little axies.

Toothless is still in a quarantine tub and receiving regular salt baths for fungus, though because it was such a small patch on her gills it's difficult to see if it's gone or not.

But now I'm worried about her sister, Astrid. Tonight and yesterday she ate her dinner of four chunks of earthworm, but then a short time later she regurgitated them all back up. They were still a little wriggly ewww! She was having a good nose through the pile right up until I removed them from the tank, so I'm not sure if that means she's still hungry. Is vomiting a sign of fungal infection at all? Should I be concerned? Would it be worth trying her on frozen bloodworms to see if she can keep them down? Or maybe just try her on fewer pieces of worm?

Thanks for any advice.

Try cutting the worms into mouth width bite size chunks or feed smaller worms.

Mine will often be pigs & scoff up too many worms, which causes them to purge them a few minutes later, only to re-eat the vomited worms a couple of minutes after that - ewwww
They don't call them sea dogs for nothing lol

Haha mine's done this a few times now after pigging out and his worms came out still wrigging after about 1 hour - so gross! I drop the bits of worm all around the tank so it gives him something to do and also slows down how fast he gobbles them up. I've had no problems since.

Thanks guys, just finished feeding her a worm over the course of an hour and no problems so far. She used to be able to handle them no problem, I wonder why she can't do it now? :-(
