Bloated orange spotted goby


Rochelle

Recommended Posts

Hi everyone. I have this orange spotted goby for little over a year now. He has never given me any trouble and has always been what it seems to be healthy to me. Recently, i went away for a week and when I came back I noticed that his belly was noticeably bloated. I decided not to worry and give him time. I figured my grandma (who was feeding my fish while i was away) may have just overfed them a little. Well it has not been a month since then and he still has the same belly. It has not changed much in size. He is still very active and is still seeking out food every time i come up to the tank. Im just a bit worried something may be wrong with him. Any advice or opinions would be appreciated! Thank you.

^^ I agree with @M. Tournesol  Lots of different possibilities here

 

However, I would try feeding a boiled, peeled green pea or sprinkling a pinch of Epsom salt in the feed to induce diarrhea before considering more invasive options.
