Hello I've had a firefish for around six months now. Good colour eats OK, can go hiding for a week at time tho.

Over the last few weeks it's belly seems bloated looks almost pregnant.

It's hard to get a pic so I have drawn a pic.

Could it be constipated? I only see her in the evening for a short while so I'm not sure if she is pooping or not.
 
Did you quarantine this fish? Did you prophylactically treat with praziquantel?

Looks like it has worms to me.
 
Yes qt and trated twice with prazi pro. twice with prazi pro.

You could try some Oral worming medication.

I think NLS makes some. Something shield? Plex shield?

Edit:

Hex shield is the name.

You can actually prazi the display tank. It is reef safe. I would treat both oral and with bath.

Fish do fart
I have yet to witness this... do lol fart bubbles come out? Like when we were kids in the bath tub turning it into a smelly Jacuzzi?
