i'm not sure buti think my bgk may be sick. he's acting normal and eating and everything, but his tummy looks very very swollen(directly under his mouth) it's almost a perfect ball.. i don't know what this might be...

Any chance for a picture? Sometimes fish can show this sign simply when they eat too much. Has it been like this for a while, or did it just show up? Is it discolored? Keep an eye on it over the next few days to see if it goes away.

it's impossible to get a pic of him. but i'll try. it's not discolored.. mabe it was too much food... and i'm pretty sure it just showed up.

it's gone down alot, and i foudn out the cause. my angel fish was laying a bunch of eggs and i guess he had a huge feast. lol funny lil fish

Lol. Glad he is okay. If it ever happens again and doesn't seem to go away, there is a little trick you can do to clear the fish out. Get some frozen peas and put a few in the microwave until they are mushy (10-20 seconds I think). Peel the skin off and feed the mushy part to the fish. It acts as a natural laxative sorta.
