Is my flowerhorn is bloater or just normal

[Brix Pacis]

I just got my flowerhorn last week. I feed him okiko plat. twice or trice a day and just observe last friday that his belly is looking bloated and not taking ****, usually i need to scoop out the poop. His activity was fine he keeps interacting with me, and he is not hiding at the corners. Any suggestion? I got a med from a fellow fh keeper but i need to confirm first if he is bloated or not before taking medication.

Or is it constipated?

Yes, he looks a bit bloaty to me. Have you tried feeding him peas? I would try that before you try any medicine. It should clear him out if he is constipated.

If he has clear poops it's probably an internal parasite. Look for the sticky that says "treating hexamita" that method works well.

he did not poop yet for 3 days, is it ok for the peas that are canned? used for ingredient.

As long as there are no other ingredients like spices, preservatives, or salt it should be fine.
