Hey guys, this morning, 3 hours after i fed my luo han, i saw he hide around the pump and don't swim around much, sometimes he shakes his head and body, and he open his mouth wide. What had happend to him? Is it Flukes or those small fish boen stucks in his mouth or something?
Can anyone please help me? Johnson, maybe you can let me know what happend? please?

Hi John

Sometimes the luohans yawn by stretching their mouths open! Hiding behind the pump can mean they are frighten of something. Nothing to worry about unless you spot some disease or ulcers!

Hope they are OK now!

Hey Johnson! Thanks for your reply! They are ok now!

Things do happended like they breath heavily at the surface of the water after they feed sometimes, like they really got big problem. I sometimes change 50% of the water if the situation is critical. Anyway, how come they will be like this? and do i really need to change the water everytime they happended to be like this? The water is clear and clean at all time! Please help me out!
Thanks!

Regards,
John

my female one lay eggs 4", unfortunely, i'm taken out male one, so all gone. If you guy put them side by side (male & female) provided with glass barrier and suddenly both started shaky their head and body...so you know it's time to mix them up.

Hi Kpunk,
Thanks for the info about the FH pre-spawning indication. I use to visit aquariun shops and very often or at any 1 time there are spawn spilled all over the aquarium & the male will try to hide them. Sometimes the female are also doing the male function. I was told that the female will eat up the fry once the eggs are hatched. Can anyone enlighted me whether this is true?
Female FH are very much smaller compared to the male. The female are often bashed up by her partner when helping her to spawn. I have seen 4"-5" female spawn & their males are usually heavily built 7" and above in size. I dont know what happens to the eggs next. IF anyone has the experience please share with us.

cheers
