I got a shipment of flowerhorn fry in, well they are all doing great except one. he was acting weird from the get go but this morning i noticed he has a huge guy, I mean this thing is massive. I don't know what it is or how to cure it. Any help would be great.
 
explain further and pics
 
Ok, i can see if i can get a pic, but it will be hard. He just sits there, never really moves or anything. I haven't seen him eat yet. when i first got him, he was laying on his side then he took off and just hid the rest of the day and has been hiding since.
 
maby hes fat?? but i had a lil angel fish i put it in with my larger one and got picked on and went baloon and died i mean like huge
 
no, its not fat. It showed up overnight. its stretching its stomach. he doesn't eat and he doesn't seem like he can see very well.
 
i can't really tell, he hides and i never see him eat. he could have parasites. It looks really dazed and doesn't look like he is all there. Same with another but with out the belly. it better not have parasites because i will be so pissed, there is a trimac on the other side. I have only had them for a few days
 
looks like bloat. Haven't had any luck curing it. Try adding salt and bumpimg the temp up.
