I just noticed my Albino Bichir has a swelling underneath him ...most likely his belly.. acts normal otherwise.. eats good etc.. any one have any idea what is going on? Pic will follow..thanks..
 
Like it's stomach is bloated out a bit, or there is an actual noticeable lump?

Mine swallows pellets whole, and gets a knot from those till they digest. What kind of gravel is in there?
HMMMM .. mine eats pellets too.. oh no i hope its not that.where he ate the gravel...it is small substrate gravel;..... these pics were from yesterday and it appears to be a little bigger now... :(
 
have you noticed him either eating more or less than usual in recent memory?
