    What do you feed it? It looks like it is getting ready to expel waste.

    You fed it a whole fish? If it ate that large of a meal, then I would say that is the cause. It shouldonly eat small peices. Peices that are too large will sit in the stomach and rot. I'm sure in a day or so, if not sooner, you will see it expel the waste and it will return back to normal.

    Expelling waste....... If you fed it a lot, you'll see a lot come out. If you have a net you can scoop it out, cause it may make a mess.
