My new juvenile flowerhorn around 4 inches, is pretty bloated. He has a fat stomach for a few days now and he never poops. I can see something small sticking out of the poop hole, maybe it's a piece of poop thats stuck?

The awkward thing he is still hungry as ever and always asking for food, yesterday he was eating just fine, today I decided not to feed him any longer until he poops because he seems bloated. I don't want to keep feeding him just in case, even though he asks for it.

Any idea on what I should do?
 
Blanched peas work as well.
