better pics would diffinetely help the cause, but i would add salt, start feeding the fish food with some garlic mixed in with it, and get some meds for him.
 
Put this in the disease and sickness section!!

So what if it's a FH? It's a freekin sick fish man!! You have more ppl seeing it there.

I've seen this before on another fish but I dont know the update.

Well I came back after a weekend vacation and he **** it out his ass. Hopefully thats the end of that. I'll continue treating him for another week or so.
 
This symptom is not to uncommon amongst FH's. I have treated it a couple times. It is usually caused by their food. Switch to only soft foods like market shrimp and stay away from pellets for a while until it goes away. Also do more frequent water changes. In a week or two of doing this you should be good;)
