thin nothos



hi all

I'm going to take a chance and posta serious fish question.

My N. kafuensis females are looking real thin. Thy are about 6 
months old.

I had some big female guppies with them in a 30 cm tank. The thin 
females disn't seem to eat.

This weekend I took the gubbies out an poped in 100 mg 
metranozidole (spelling!) tab into the tank of roughly 17 l. I 
suspected a protozoan gut infection. I also took out the peat 
suspecting it may absorb the meds.

Now the fish are eating greedily and I expect them to put on weight 
quickly.

Were they not eating because of  an infection or because of the 
guppies?

Any ideas? I've had this hollow belly probelm before with my nothos 
with dire consequences.

Regards


Tyrone
