Hi,
I recently got my first pair of Apistos, Borrelli Opal, and I was wondering how apistos feed.
I observed that they pick the pellet in their mouth, start "chewing" for 30-40 sec and then they trow
it out and start again. The pellet looks smaller and or broken in pieces, but It looks like they rarely if
at all really swallow the pellet or part of it.
I know this can be symptoms of sign of internal parasite, but also some fish actually feed in this
way.
So here my question, is this an expected behavior for apistos or can something is not going well?
for info, the pellets I give them are dip into water/vitamin before being distributed
Thanks in advance!
Alberto
