ive been power feeding my pbass tryin to get them to grow to put them with the bigger pbass. they usually control their eating by gettin a full stomach.. but ive never seen his stomach like this, he looks like a big ball.. its a lot bigger than it shows in the pic.. but check it anyways. looks dangerous? is it?

it's just bloated stomachs don't stick out so pronounced and sharply..... it's a prefectly viable hypothesis. it's rude to call me crazy for just trying to help.

I would say one of the feeders has curled or is in a weird position in his gut...

Keep an eye on him though.

If he takes a turn for the worst put your mouth over his and suck as hard as you can :barf: :ROFL:

ALSO, common sense tells me... the more full his stomach is the easier it would be for a spine/barb to puncture it.

I agree.. This is common as These fish swallow the fish whole and depending on how it goes down is usually how it sits til Digested :) He probably got the biggest feeder and that is it's head sticking down and his tail is pushing off the inside of the Basses back or other feeders :).. Mine do this with larger feeders..

I have also noticed that These fish have extremely elasticity in their stomaches.. So i wouldn't worry too much unless he decides to start acting allot different tomorrow :)
