D. Sailfin has lumps?

[SmyrnaReefer]

its stomach looks huge, like he hasnt pooped in days. i have a small HA outbreak, is it maybe eating all day or is there fish constipation. both of its sides are large in teh stomach area.....

thanks for any ideas, its been like this a couple of days now

Do you have any pics?

Not sure if this helps, but here you go..... the lumps are basically right behind his side fins. kind of looks like he swallowed a marble

I have a hippo tang and sometimes I notice his stomach area looks noticeably distended. It is somewhat concerning but he always seems to look normal a couple of hours later(or whenever I remember to check). My guess is he is just full and needs to poop. Nice tank btw.

he seems to have been like this for a couple of days now and i have not seen him poop, however, i havent been watching all day either. i have a small purple hair algae bloom starting right now so im hoping that he just doesnt realize he is full and keeps eating that crap.... otherwise he is acting normal, swimming and eating and picking with the rest of the guys..

thanks for the compliment :)
