Fatty blenny!

Look at that belly! $10 says he's drops that deuce in front of the power head lol

 

[Deberber]

That is one enormous belly! Did you buy him like that or no?

 

[WrongGenotype]

That can't be normal. I'm voting for a parasite.

 

[gregrocks79]

Nope! I've had him for a while and no issues whatsoever. I looked with a flashlight and didn't see anything cracking around in there. Sure hope it's not a parasite.

My blenny had the santa claus thing on too, lol - It didn't end well. He was one of my favorites

 

[rlpardue]

Is that the only specimen of that species you have in the tank?

 

[gregrocks79]

Santa clause lol and sad

Yup only one blenny. Hope he survives and it isn't bad. He's an awesome pouty fish

 

[gregrocks79]

Sadly the blenny didn't make it. Just found him belly up! Poor fella

Sorry for the delay. Got married haha

Dunno exactly what happened. I was spot feeding the other fish when I noticed his belly. Got huge out of nowhere. C'est la vie!

Saw that. Didn't have a blister. Just the bloating. I've been dripping some garlic on the food every day. The other fish are perfectly fine and no issues

I have a male/female pair of Ecsenius Ops. The female often develops a large round belly; I assumed it was eggs inside. Had them for several months; no signs of poor health yet.

Starry blenny time

I had a yellow wrasse female and male. After having both for 4 months the female developed a large stomach. I thought it was a stomach virus, but after 3 months she was still eating and acting normally. I have never heard of a fish lasting that long with this ailment, so I thought she was pregnant. Finally after 3.5 months she was breathing heavy under a rock. The male wrasse was surprisingly agitated, throwing sand around and hitting his body against the rock she was under but on the other side. She died that day. She was slightly red around the anus when she died.

Crazy! I use garlic all the time now and it seems to really be working well.
