Even though I never had this problem with Apistos .. I had the same kind of experience with Bettas! With them, it has to do with feeding newly hatched brine shrimp as their FIRST food! When I switched to Microworms and later on fed baby brine-- I had no more belly sliders! Just my 2 cent.

I had this problem with aggies, borellii and trifasciata. Some of the fry (sometimes up to 25% of them) is unable to swim properly. Any thoughts about what to do to prevent it?
