Thanks! Yea I tried capturing it on 4k but the video was so huge haha! i already have a brackish tank for my figure 8 puffer, a community planted tank, a palladium for red devil crabs and one 3 gallon for blue diamond shrimp tank only. Too many tanks have space constraint hahaha.. but glad you...

Thanks for the the advise and the great info from other post. I stop feeding yesterday as I was trying to skip 1 day a week. This morning I still see the same rounded belly. From the post you share it seems that garlic may not solve all the problems however it suppose it wouldn't hurt to try...
