Any idea what’s wrong with my goby? His stomach looks very bizarre. Nothing new has been fed to it. The tank gets fed a mixture of frozen foods. The fish has been acting completely normal

Looks to be overfed or constipated. Is it still eating/trying to eat?
Try not feeding it for 24 hours and see it bloating goes down. If not and still eating, feed a little brine shrimp which will act as a laxative

Seems to be eating still when I feed the tank. Comstipation is what I figured. I’ll try brine shrimp next time I feed the fish and take a break from feeding for a day. Thanks for the input!
