tigrinus ate too much? Guppy help!

[gman]

You might have seen my pics last night with my new tigs and their bellies really full. Well today one of them seems to not be digesting the rosys it ingested. Its betty is the same size as it was last night and the others are about 1/2 the size of what they were last night. The fish also seems to be having a bit of a problem with gas because its having trouble staying near the bottom. Final thing is that the blood vessels are very visible.

I think its just that the fish ate so much its having trouble passing and digesting its meal so the food is breaking down and giving it gas. I'm not sure though. Anyone have any ideas what it might be and if it is a problem?

feeders=bad. You should know that bro

I dont know if this is a possibilty, but I've read that peas are like fish laxatives.

yeah i know they are but i have to get some meat on their bones before I starve them.

peas are like laxitives for fish. I just boil mine for a few minutes peel them and throw em in. fish love them and it really flushes them good.

I dont think its not going to eat peas cause it probably wont eat anything else. the thing is going to explode.

Get an eyedropper and squirt 2-3 drops of cod liver oil into it's throat, it is an old recipe for fish that are bloated due to over eating.

Just to mention... There's a protein-rich, meaty laxative... Earthworms.

Best regards.
