Pregnant Reidi breathing heavy and not eating

[colby]

Well one of my male Reidi is pregnant with his first brood and he seems a bit...."off"

He is six days pregnant...All params are fine, temp may be a bit on the low side for Reidi..74F.

All the other horses are doing fine, I have frequently had pregnant males not eat and just generally become lethargic during pregnancy, but the breathing has me worried.

Any ideas would be much appreciated.

Thanx

What are your params? Params are fine doesn't say much. Also, that temp is actually about perfect for Reidi. Any higher temps and the Reidi would be more succeptible to a variety of diseases. Have you tried the diseases and treatment forum on seahorse.org? Many males are secretive when preganant, and will eat, you just don't see it. But, if he is truly not eating, then you really have a problem.
