sick Bellus Angel?

[Bret61081]

I was just at a LFS and they had just gotten in a Beautiful Bellus Angel. The only problem was that it looked to be constipated(a buldge around its anus). The fish appeared to be swimming fine so I donââ"šÂ¬Ã¢"žÂ¢t think it would be its swim bladder but I Know Id LOVE this fish! Any ideas on what could be wrong with it? It just came in today, so it didnââ"šÂ¬Ã¢"žÂ¢t want to accept any food. Do you think it is worth getting it or is it a hopeless cause? Thanks

tell them to hold it for at least 2 weeks. take some pix and show us =) ask them what's wrong with it.

its not the best LFS...they are known to get fish cheap...not the best quality...normally I would look at a fish like that and walk away but I LOVE this fish! when I asked how much it was the kid told me 39.99. I dont even think he knew what it was so asking him what was wrong with it was out of the question! Normally around here they are 100-150$...they get watanabi's from time to time at the same price...
