I have a young albino bichir that appears to have an impacted bowel or an infection around the anus fins. I can't get real good photos, but there is a pea sized lump above the anal fin region and the fins themselves seem absent and/or infected/impacted. Anyone have any experience with this? I've kept bichirs before, but never had an issue in the butt department. I would assume peas and other fiberus material for him to help pass it? He is fed chopped earthworm and pellets, is about 3-4" in length and in general shows no sign of disease in terms of behaviors. Water parameters are normal, he is housed with a tire track eel and some small kribensis'. My photos stink, but it's the best I can do with my severely outdated IPhone 3GS.
