yesterday i got a small(barley 1.5")redline from the LFS they just got them in and they were realy bright red ive never seen any so red before or so small so mabie its the normal color, they were all skinny but active and looked healthy, when i got mine home he ate a 1" guppy and today hes at the surface of the water in a head up tail down angel just kind of swimming in place, not swimming around at all realy, when it ate the guppy it had a large bulg in its belly witch is now mostley gone but there is a bulb down near the tail, iam worried that the guppy was to big and has caused a blockage or something can that happen to SH? ive had SHs before but never so small and ive never had them get so big from one meal, is there anything i can do?
small redline not looking so good

try giving it a laxative like epsom salts..ive lost many a snakehead with these bloat like symptoms
well the littel guy passed the guppy after all, it looked his back end would explode, hes looking a lot better now and over the last two days he lost his solid ruby red color and now has the red line with a black border like normal small micros, also when i said he was 1.5" i meshured him after and he was only 1"
, hes growing buy the day though and iam now feeding him live black worms and tiny white clouds, hopefully he will grow to be a 3' monster in time
