My Catfish Gets Bloated

[babybell911]

Hi I have a syno arrtemus (spelling?) and i noticed he was a bit plump the other day when i checked on himin the morning he was fine then today after feeding time he was huge i mean he looked like a nine month pregnant woman he just had to rock on the floor cos he couldnt get his head or tail down. Is this just because he's a bloater and stuffs himself as it seems to go down later on or is it something else it's just I've never seen a fish get this fat!!!

perfectly normal for synodontis to do this.

Oh good glad it is. Thanks for your reply.

Some of my smaller synos do this, at first I was a little worried like yourself that I was over-feeding them, but they seem to be all very well, and quickly return to normal size.
