i seem to be having problems with my ctenopoma. i went to feed him this morning and he looks all bloaty and well lumpy, i may just be over reacting (hes my wet pet what can i say....) but its not the first time that this fish has had serious problems and i think it has because it has a hard time pooping? i also hever see him doing his "bussines". the food i am feeding blood worms, hikari floating carnivore pellets, omega one super colour floating pellets, dried bloodworms, wardely sinking shrimp pellets and tetramin super colour flake food. so my question what can i do to help him pass food more easily will post pics from my phone soon

Give it an Epsome salt bath. If you have a container use 1 tsp per 1 gallon for 10 to 15 mins max. Also if you can get it to eat a skinned pea do so, this will purge it's system. Don't feed for the next 48 hours afterwords.
