i have had this guy about a year and a half now. always healthy and happy. i came home today and his stomach was fat like i just fed him but i didn't. he didn't eat much when i fed the tank and i am noticing his rectum is really big like he is trying to pass poop but cant? lol. is this something he will get over, or is something going on here.

Jarret,
Keep a close eye on it - when they are newly added from wholesalers, they sometimes have parasites in their stomach's and that happens, but a year later isn't normal.
Also, as an aside, they sometimes go on amphipod eating streaks -
Hope it works out for you. My favorite fish

He's possibly putting the chews on on your bristleworms or copopods
It was worst today, he looks like he is pregnant his stomach is huge and he swims with his mouth open. what could this be guys? didnt add anything new to the tank, didnt feed anything new i feed him mysis and bloodworms, any ideas?
