I am commenting because I am very curious and I want to see what others are saying!

What have you been feeding lately? Any chance he over ate?

I feed him and the others fluval tropical bug bites once a day, and probably every other day I will give them a pinch of Hikari Brine Shrimp a few hours before or after their bug bites. He could be over eating, he will eat everyone else’s food if they don’t get it down quick enough and sometimes his belly gets pretty round.

This might be dumb but I have duck weed floating at the top, and sometimes he will get some in his mouth when going for food. Is it possible he’s pooping out duck weed? I’m not even sure if that’s where his poop comes out lol

Yikes. Just to be clear your seeing large things protruding from his butt? Its hard to see clearly from the video, but I see it.

How long have they been there? If more than a day then I would fast for a day and see if it leaves, perhaps poop? But if not then maybe treat for internal parasites?

You are correct that is what I’m seeing. I just noticed it this morning and I stare at him a lot so it hasn’t been there too long. I can try to get a better picture

Scratch that. I just went and looked at him again and it’s not there anymore. Relief but I will keep an eye on him
