i just recently bought an fry that is about 2 inches? he eats like a monster. look healthy but his stomach is really big. and i notice he doesn't poop. what can i do to make him poop?

you should stop feeding and raise temperature to 84F. Higher temp will help digestion.

Ditto that!

Also try feeding him some peas.

thats alright, i think u feed it alot

well its best to get them used to veggies at a young age despite thembeing monsters they need some greens to help digest all that protein as well.

My baby thais eat peas an lettuces as well. just got them 2-3 days ago got 1 male SUPER DOMINANT so i habd feed to make sure all get equal food amounts .

but they eat protein then veggies then protein3 times a day total in small portions .

This is just IMO.

i try to start them young with veggies otherwise they will reject them later and be spoiled and only expect certain things.
Ive seen some people use aquatic salt as well for a laxative in soem form. btu id do some research or ask an expert.

But overfeeding is just shortening their lifes an could do it over night if you feed them everytime they beg for food.

You can add some epsom salt. This will help.

i try that.. didnt work. as today it still bloated. idk what to do lol

yo i live near you... call me i can come over and help you out.
