just for additional info, dat eats massivore, I fed him about 3 hours ago but the rays usually get most of what I drop in so I wouldnt think its overfeeding. And if its bloat not sure what I could add that would be ray safe other than salt and w/c

Seems yo be going down so the dat should make it out just fine, maybe it was food but I know it didn't get that much at one time. Would sand in is system cause it to bloat up?

He looks ok. Some tigers are extra greedy.

He may lie on his side cause hes so full up. A couple days and his belly will grt smaller.

Dont worry.

I see your dat had the same problem as mine. I added some Aquarium Salt and waited it out. Its called "Bloat" or something i believe. (what people told me) In my case my fish didnt eat for like 3 weeks and then i threw in some carnivore floating sticks and he flew up there and ate them so im guessing he got a big gulp of air too! LoL.
