Add epsom salt to the water.. If it has he is constipated, the Epsom salt should help him clear it out. Good luck.

how much epsom salt

I'm not really sure on the exact amount.. I think around 1 table spoon for every 5 gallons. If you go over, don't worry. Your fish will be able to expel excess Magnesium Sulfate if it needs to. Also, remember to to re-add Epsom salt after water changes. Keep the water clean as possible.
 
So i added Epsom salt.....

His attitude has changed dramatically he is active now. Before he would hide and just sit there until you walked away.... ill post pics when his big belly is gone.

Thanks WATER......

When should i add more or do a water change?

Glad to know that he's back. Just do a water change and add the amount of Epsom salt that was taken out from the water change.
