Bloated six line wrasse

[pamelahaley]

Hey there all. Just looking for some peace of mind. The stomach of my six-line wrasse is bloated and I hear it can be attributed to a number of things. From observation, he is acting normal and eating like a pig (first thought). I've noticed it's stomach has increased in size since I started feeding my corals and scallop with Reef Chili. The two clowns and yellow goby are perfectly healthy. I have noticed the wrasse eats literally everything I put in the tank, more than other fish and is the only fish to go glutton when I feed with Reef Chili. Personally I think he is just eating too much but, I can't feed anyone else without him eating too. Any ideas?

I feed 1-2 times a day with meat and veggie flake together, or brine shrimp. I've also fed with reef chili the last two days mostly targeting my scallop which had been starving for a few weeks. I'm going to take the reef chili down to every 2-3 days and am considering feeding once a day thought I feed twice to make sure my goby gets enough as he was also starving for a few weeks before starting to eat.

So, I have a fat fish and a bony fish with no equilibrium. ugh.

LOL... I decided to change the name of mine from "Pain in my wrasse" to "Hello/Goodbye." I was just watching him swim in and out of the rocks and decided on it.

The Yellow goby is "Pebble" and the clowns are "Bubba" (has a bulging lower lip) and "Lil' *******" (because im going to lose a finger to her sooner or later.)

Pam you know the old rule of thumb is if you name your fish you kill them :Flush:

LOL... did now know that. As I never call them by name to their faces, they may not catch on.

my little piggy. I think you my want to try target feeding the scallops. My 6line eats copeapods all day and then wants to eat every piece of food I drop in the tank.
