try feeding it some wet foods like frozen brine shrimp. You could even feed daphnia as this will make it go to the bathroom.

Do you feed him much freeze dried food if so stop it now. I would also add frozen blood worms dissolve them first. Cooked peas can can be used remove the outer shell and mash them up slightly

It could be other problems as well this is mainly a cure for constipation. If you have a very reliable LFS take him there with a good water sample and get it tested just in case there is a water concern but if it is only one fish I dont think you could have a water problem.

Please let us know if you require any further assistance.

Near enough is not good enough, therefore good enough is not near enough, and only your best will do.

How did the bloated fish go? Did he die? Did you get it to eat a squished pea? Did the fish make a complete recovery or is this sort of problem fatal?
