havent noticed any feces what meds can i use
 
well if you have a quarantine tank i'd isolate him mabe a salt bath and up the temp a bit........mabe upping the temp is just for ich. anyway i've always used melafix/pimafix in addition to salt baths. but i think you may have a parasite.....i'm no expert on fish butts. Maracide says for external parasites....i've never gotten them b4. but it may be internal as well. the jungle labs parasite clear says external/internal......but they aren't liquid you have to dissolve them like denture tabs.

i think it's either the first one......the livebearing nematoads or Hexamita

have you noticed what his feces looks like? stringy??? white???
If you ask me, neither of the two. This looks like internal organ prolapse. The pics are still a little blurry. Epsom salt bath is the treatment for prolapse.
