My young flowerhorn eats non stop if i feed it for 3 minutes straight it can eat a lot, so I only feed it 15 pellets a day. My fish seems to be very active and always wants to eat. I'm just wondering if this size is normal or is it bloated? Thanks.

Is the FH eating well?
Is the FH pooping well or any sign of white poop??

I have got a Blue Malau Flowerhorn with a large belly. I tried pea, cucumber and baby shrimp and other foods for extra digestion but still large (not increasing in size though).

Mine poops red/brownish colour poo daily and its amount is pretty similar every day.

So I am only feeding digestive helping food according to my feed sheet and not worrying too much about its belly.
 
It is eating very well. No white poop very large belly though.. I feed peas to it it poop out peas and belly is still big.
 
He’s one of those with big intestine, so he normal..

If he had bloat, he would be still at the surface of the water getting the top of his head dried up..

Your fish only needs a good feeding routine. Enjoy. I’m back on the road to quitting the hobby
