Ok, I got several 1 inch convicts and one of them has had a bloated stomach and he has been fine for the week and a half I have had him. I have checked into diseases and its not dropsy because his scales are not flaring or anything. he stays on the ground but when he wants he can swim normally. But i am worried if he has an internal disease. I will post pics tomorrow.

Does he still eat? I've heard of feeding them chopped, shelled (de-cased) peas (fresh or thawed from frozen) and that can help with bloating - possibly from constipation.

For internal parasites, I've heard of people on this forum feeding their fish finely chopped garlic.

Hope this helps! Good luck and keep us posted.
