Picked this guy up for free. Noticed bulge in stomach area left side. Figured some sort of internal bloat or something. But the more I looked at him he looks crooked overall. Bulge in left side of belly but also looks swollen on the right more up front. Can you guys see what I'm saying? Thoughts? No clue of conditions he was kept in as a buddy picked it for me. Looking at side profile i think he's been stunted.

Is it acting normal? Poop is looking normal? If so just watch. Doesnt lol like bloat atleast. Keep qt for a while would be my only suggestion.

Seems to be acting normal so far. Haven't offered food yet. Only had him since last night. Only was able to watch him for a few hours last night. Was swimming around fine. It's a decent bulge on the one side for sure. But just misshapen overall i think. And he's in a empty bowfront i had which is making it look distorted even more in pics i take now. Making it tricky to new good pics. I'll offer some food when I get home from work and see how it goes.

Been treating with epsom salt in tank and epsom soaked food. After 2 days this is what came out. It's about the size of a small grape! And after that 2 more a little smaller. He's still working out more but seems to be a little better.

Hope now things will better. That poop looks nasty.
