I noticed my Tailspot Blenny has been looking bloated. After doing some research, I’m guessing it was due to a high protein diet because he is a little pig that loves to eat the other fish food. I tried to feed peas to help with the constipation, but he has been refusing to eat them. Anytime he eats a pea, he will spit it up. I’m guessing that he would still eat if I put other food in, but I didn’t want to exacerbate the problem by continuing to feed.
I had though he was getting better, but I noticed that, while his anus is less swollen, his stomach is still distended. Is this something I should be worrying about? Or is it just part of the process for his constipation to end?
I’m fairly new to the hobby, so I wanted to check with others. Thanks!
