Pinched Stomach

[Mmun]

Do you all think this is a pinched stomach on this trigger? See picture
He loves to eat, but I cant really tell. I have not see white stringy poop.

What are you feeding him? How much?

My blue jaw is a PIG! WhenI feed the tank.... he will gets his unfair share and the plumps up very nicely.... perhaps he needs to be fed more. If he appears to be eating well, keep feeding him to see him plump up.

If he is at a LFS..... ask them to feed him some krill or large mysis. If he snarfs it down, you should be good. Some stores dont do a good job of feeding their fish..... IMHO.....

He’s in my 135. He gets fed frozen food twice a day. Also eats nori

Mine eats Nori too. Like I said... he is a pig. I have a bunch of tangs that are pretty messy eaters and he snarfs down really pretty much anything he can get into his mouth. Depending on how big he is.... try feeding him pieces of krill off of some forceps.

I find my guy is very active and needs a bit more feeding than the rest. How long have you had him? Mine is in a 180 display with 5 tangs and a bunch of smaller fish.
