Freeze died shrimp and he occasionally will nibble on the shrimp pelletsWhat are you feeding him?
IV kept badis for a few a months. An I hardly feed them live foods. They ate flakes, shrimp pellets etc . I think it something else. Not saying they don't cause I read also they love live foods or recommended for them.Almost all info says they demand live food?
You have no live food to offer?
This may be the problem?
My LFS had a tank of those guys also.It looked all male to me,but I don't know if that is a big problem.They did not seem to like each other I will say?
How many of them? Do you have in the tank? M to f ratio? What other fish are in the tank?View attachment 293171
My Scarlet badis just lies there for the past two days. When I first got him he was energetic eating and swimming in the plants. I have two and this one never really colored up much but compared to the way he is now there is definitely a problem. Does anyone know what's wrong?
Usually people only come across males. Females are extremely rare in the trade, but my other badis (also male) is thriving he has bright coloration eats well and I've had these guys for about a month so it could be something he picked up at the lfs possibly. What it is I'm not sure.Almost all info says they demand live food?

I'm thinking the same thing I'm just not quite sure what he has my other one is just fine.IV kept badis for a few a months. An I hardly feed them live foods. They ate flakes, shrimp pellets etc .

Some harlequins and amano shrimp not sure if they would have anything to do with it, doubt it.Yea it is. He could be possibly getting beat up by other badis. Any other tank mates in the tank
I think he passed overnight somehow. Strange no sign of anything just gone. All other fish are fine, I'm beginning to think it was just something with the petstore.Any update
That sucks sorry to hear thatI think he passed overnight somehow. Strange no sign of anything just gone. All other fish are fine, I'm beginning to think it was just something with the petstore.
