Hi friends this L397 is over 10 years old. He doesn't breed anymore.
I just noticed a sunken stomach and conditions & food are stellar & abundant!
Any advice for my old timer.

He might be getting out- competed?

He's certainly not old. What are you feeding him? Anything faster feeding in the tank? The fact he is skinny is probably why he isn't spawning. When was the last time you wormed him and since have any new fish been introduced? I don't think worms is normally why a fish is skinny but worth asking.

I am thinking he is getting bullied at feeding since everything else is spot on!
I'm gonna move him to a fry tank & let him be the alpha again.
Thanks for mentioning he's not old. I was thinking 10-13 years old is pushing.
Anyone else have older L397 over 10 years?
Thanks for the messages friends!
