    well he pretty much stays on a cave the whole day without moving. only every now and then.. and he does attempt to eat but im guessing he has a belly ache cuz he takes a bite or two and goes back..:-/

    i read about dropsy when i searched google but it doesnt quite look like that.. can that affect salt water fish? ( i read about it on a goldfish)

    I'm not sure if it can affect salt water fish. I don't know, I'm out of ideas!

    What food has he been eating? It is more common that people think to have fish become stopped up, just like a horse. I do not recommend this unless you take him to a LFS that REALLY knows their stuff. But I have seen larger angles and trigger have there stomachs "massaged" to help pass a blockage. Just a thought, get a knowledgable opinion, as it can also burst the stomack or cause punctures. Truly last resort.

    I think peas help with constipation.
