mmkay, don't feed him until he poops. This is a gross mommy discussion amongst the goils everybody
But seriously...I think you're on to something there. The turds of these little bitty fish are
huge and I've had to deal with constipation with a couple of them before. They literally act like they're giving birth or something
I am willing to bet money that I know which one it is too. I fed them frozen food days before the trip,no dry, for tummy reasons only. On the day OF shipping I gave them each 2 live blackworms
hours before packing. While moving them into containers to take to the lfs and bag...one of the males had a pellet stuck to his lid or it was stuck to my finger, it just fell out of nowhere into his jar and before I could even get to it he gobbled it up AS I was dumping out most of his jar water. Yes, it's pretty sad when you have betta food falling out of nowhere
I figured he'd be ok, so maybe his little system needs to catch up, I'm sure he didn't digest in transit....although the girls did
Their food was live and easy though. If you DO feed him, give him frozen for now.
But...I notice the same tail down position in the males that Julie's had ,they're ok ,right? Swimming properly? 
I walked in the betta room late last night to check on the new fry and all the orangies were sound asleep in their jars and I thought of the babies in the mail 
Amazing little girls though
