I have my TSN eating frozen shrimp and massivore. Everytime he eats the belly gets huge. I actually looks as if he ate an entire fish. Any idea why this might be happening? And is this normal? He seems healthly.

makes sense but this guys stomach seriously looks like its going to explode, i guess as long as it looks happy/healthly its normal.

My tsn is about a foot long and eats frozen shrimp (thawed) also. He gets to looking like a teeter totter some times too. BIG BELLY
Post up a pic of him. lets see the belly. sounds pretty normal though

Mine does the same thing, it's the pellets swelling up, I think.
