I think he's going to die. He's looking pretty skinny and has become kind of picky with what he eats. Today he didn't eat at all. OK so I wake up from a nice afternoon nap come out to check on my friends here and I notice that he's just swimming in one place. He normally roams and picks all on the little guys a little. Just enough for his own entertainment. So he's swimming in place. Then I move around to the side of the tank to look at him and he has a chunk of poo stuck in his sphincter. I tried to take a picture but he was too embarrased and swam under the rocks. Another thing that he never does. He's not a timid fish. I tried feeding the tank to see if he'd eat. so he started swimming around looking at all the food as if he approved but didn't eat any. All of my other fish are acting perfectly healthy, fine, normal, nice and chubby. So when I starting feeding he pushed most of the poo out but his sphincter is still open. It's like he has a 1/4" hole in his under side. This was about 3 hours ago. now he's hiding under the rocks. I have about 2 hours of light left on the tank and this is just not normal behavior.
Any thoughts?
