golden ancistrus

Hi i have had two of these for about a year and have noticed they are really fat. Is this bloat or could it be something else?
Thanks

Try feeding de-shelled pea's. this usually helps if there bloated but they could just be well fed. Have you tryed cutting there feeding down?

Tryed peas so im hoping that will help. They dont eat too much pellets once a week otherwise they eat mussell, krill bloodworm etc. Hope the peas help. Thanks

There is probably your problem. Way too much animal proteins for the Ancistrus. They should be on a diet of mainly veggies with maybe once a week with the meaty stuff.

Algae wafers and vegetable. Ban the bloodworms.
