I have a black cap basslet that I have had for about 1 1/2 years. For quite awhile now the stomach area seems to be to big for what it should be, almost like it ate to much. To this day it eats very well and looks and act very healthy. At first I thought maybe it eating a lots of pods that are on the live rocks, but now I am thinking other wise such as internal parasite or maybe if it a female, could she be full of eggs? I have never seen anything expelled from the anal area to be like internal worms. I treated it with Focus and Metro (SeaChem) shortly after I got it for preventive measure. This has been going on for about 3 months now. The others fish I have in the reef tank with it are a solar wrasse,McCosker wrasse and a blue combtooth blenny. They all are doing well and stomach area look normal. Any ideas? Thanks
