Fin Biting or Fin Rot?

[Andy Sager]

I hate to put this name out there bc I avoid this place unless I absolutely have to go there but petsmart does sell the frozen ones. They’re pretty pricey too. The other thing I like more about the freeze dried is they float. The frozen ones sink pretty fast

That said, I have had fish get constipated with lumps of freeze dried foods in them so I'll always choose frozen over freeze dried whenever possible. I'll soak the freeze dried foods so that they don't float because fish will eat at any level of the water column. ( Less chance of them gulping air with the food. )

Most people don't, but I do autopsies. For example:
This fish died from bloat (a.k.a. Dropsy). There was no food in it's stomach or intestinal tract but the body was filled with fluid. This proves organ failure.

That’s really cool Andy.

It's just part of my " I don't like to guess" method of pet keeping. I was in route to becoming a Veterinarian before being sidetracked into the fish business so I do more medical stuff than most.
