My stripped raphael developed a swollen stomach randomly. I feed every 4-5 days cut tilapia, pellets, shrimp, & krill. The past week they've only been offered pellets. All water parameters are spot on. weekly 75% water changes. Tank size 6x2x2 tank mates silver aro, temensis bass, & tigrinus cat. I had an 18 year old Oscar I grew up as a kid that died exactly like this.. swollen stomach and lump in anus. Please help
