Big belly. Should I worry?

[eqbal9947]

Hey guys. I got this guy a week ago.
He looked good when I got him but now that’s he’s in my DT, he has a big belly

Except enlarged belly, anything else seem wrong.
Eats well, swims well, active….?

First - looks like a very very nice tank - and it would be great to see a whole tank picture. Second - as said by @Uncle99 - are there other symptoms. Can you give some more information as to the age of the tank, fish, feedings, etc? It could be egg bound - or something else. Is the fish eating.

This can be constipation or simply overeating
Often, you can hold off feeding overnight and see if it reduces or feed brine shrimp which will help it pass food
What are you currently feeding it?

PS - a brine shrimp trial might help if its constipation.

Hey guys.
I should have given more info. I apologize.
He’s totally fine other than that, eating and swimming very well.
He’s been eating mysis and flakes
All his tank mates are fine.
The tank is 2 years old, going on 3
He’s been eating like a pig and I’ve been feeding a lot to make sure all the new fish are eating well.
Might just be that.
