I have this 6in Tiger that has a huge belly. I don't know that much about them. First~He has had nothing to eat in 4 days and there is nothing missing in my tank.Second~I thought maybe he had a rock or some of the driftwood in his belly so i netted him and his belly is soft. Is it his swim bladder or is this normal?
 
That looks like my catfish after a huge meal they shouldn't have eaten so much of. Are you positive he hasn't eaten in 4 days? Count the other fish in the tank. Otherwise I would also worry about him eating a stone, gravel, a chunk of wood or something like that.
 
~He has been WAY more active this last few days. He has been swimming around with his mouth open.He is in a tank with 4 peacock bass and one 24+ in Arow He has not eaten anything that I know of. Like I said His belly felt really soft. If it is rocks or a peace of wood is there anything I can do for him?
 
When i first got my TSN, he didn't eat for days and all the food just stayed there next to him, then one morning all the left over food was gone and he was SUPER fat. He was like a vaccum with the left over food :D

Doesn't look like driftwood tho
 
Just looks like he has a big meal to me.

If he has eaten something he shouldnt have he will expell it himself.

Dont start pressing his belly, could do all sorts of internal damage.
 
~ OK guys anymore idea's. now he is starting to swim sideways and his belly has gotten bigger. I am thinking that I should just end his pain and suffering. PLEASE help.
