German blue ram Bloated

I was in the middle of feeding my fish brine shrimp or the first time. And one of my GBRs is extremely bloated. What should I do? He's still eating tho

It's hard to say, but maybe it's a female getting ready to lay some eggs.

Idk cuz it literally just happed while I was feeding them the shrimp. Both of them had it but that 1 had it worse

Any other issues with the fish that you can see? If not, hold feeding for 24 hours and then feed some blanched peas. Make sure not to feed the shells, squeeze out the pea innards and feed them that.

The bloating went down a lot this morning. Idk why but it happend only when I was feeding them the shrimp. Maybe he just ate too much?

What kind of brine shrimp fresh/frozen/freeze dried?

 

[Pckerfreak44]

Frozen

 

[BlaseMrNiceguy]

Ok because sometimes with the freeze dried it will bloat them because it absorbs water. Sounds like he is just a pig and was very happy to have some "real" food. Lol

Haha hopefully. Thanks for the info
