Whats that? I know it is fat as sh*t. Everytime I feed my fish this thing is more of a hog than most oscars I have seen. I fed the fish 10 minutes or less before this pic so it doesn't always look so fat.

what he means by malawi bloat is basically that hes being fed a high protein diet. what are you feeding him. spirulina works well with mbunas, african attack cichlid pellets are what i use too. you only want to occasionally feed them something high in protein.
