I Think He's Gonna Pop

[karmagl]

Well I tried to take a pic and this was the best I could do. My clown loach looks like he is going to blow up at anysecond he is so fat. His diet is fed everymorning bloodworms, every third day is plancton shrimp. Someone said he might be constipated and to give him a pee. For one can I put the pee in my tank can it hurt my other fish, two does it have to be fresh frozen canned, all I have is canned and frozen maybe. What do you think?

No canned pea.. the frozen will work though, just thaw it out some.

i just use baby jar food peas all it is pea and water mixed so u good for baby food they all love it

Get going with the peas and don't give him any bloodworms, good luck.

but will it hurt my other fish if they eat it first

No peas are very good for fish they are a laxative makes them go to the toilet.
Daphia is also good as it helps the fish digest its food.

fish looooooooooooooooove peas!!! mine get peas as a ritual every sunday night. i just take the shell of and then the pea is in two bits inside. just add a few to the tank. make sure there is enough for everyone else to eat and him. they will prob go nuts for it

anyone can correct me if im wrong here but i think its bad to feed only meat based foods to most fish. it should be a healthy mix of live/frozen, vegies and flakes. but i could be wrong about the live/frozen food. i just know i cant feed my africans too much or they get constipated and i think there is eomthing else than can happen to im just not sure what it is if someone wants to help me out here

You are overfeeding them bloodworm. You should only give it to them 1-2 times a week as a treat. It is like you have a 12oz steak everynight

As above, diet needs to be balanced. Feed them peas and cucumber to keep them in check and happy
