I have had my tank up and running for a week. I noticed this afternoon when feeding that my spotted raphael catfish looks bloated. I dont normally see him once I get home from work and turn the light on so trying to get a picture now isnt happening. He came out to eat and then he hid, as he has since I got him. He is still eating, Im not sure if thats good or not? Do I wait this out or act now and what should I do? Although Im not sure if it matters but all fish in the tank are juvies.
Case of Bloat?

Nope no red meat, just flakes for everyone at the moment. Good news is the problem seems to have gone away and hes back to normal. I think "fatty" is exactly what the problem was. I was feeding at 4am before leaving for work (not returning until 4pm) and he was the only one awake. Guess he thought all that food was for him lol.
