Any white stringy poop coming out of him?
Only showed up this morning so haven't seen him poop yet - watching closely though...Wow that's really pronounced -- have you seen him poop?
Makes me wonder if it's an epic blockage. Try feeding a peeled pea to him.Only showed up this morning so haven't seen him poop yet - watching closely though...
Never heard of that... is that the fish form of a laxative?Makes me wonder if it's an epic blockage. Try feeding a peeled pea to him.

Ok. We'll try this. Anyone else have success with it? Or know how long till it takes effect?In essence, yes that's the idea

Thanks for the advice! Is this something I could find at a local pet store or maybe LFS? Or is it typically something you have to order online? Never had to purchase any antibiotics and an internal infection seems rather time sensitive...If it just simple constipation, the fiber contained in the peas will help "push things out".
However, that bump looks a little high up to be in the stomach area, and I doubt a tumor could form so quickly.
So, my best guess is it's actually being caused by an internal infection and food soaked in Kanaplex would be the best way to go: https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/antibiotics.283711/
Kanaplex has the added advantage of causing diarrhea as a side effect. Just in case I'm wrong about this being constipation.
Be sure to also use Seachem Focus when food soaking Kanaplex, as that will bind the medication to the food and prevent it from leaching out.
Thanks. If this an infection, does anyone have an idea how long before it goes bad?Seachem Kanaplex and Focus are typically available at LFS - mine are hit and miss though, as they only stock one at a time before reordering. Its readily available online as well.

Often only hours...sometimes days...sometimes never. You just don't know. Personally, I'd want to start as soon as possible. Today, if you can find it locally.
