Hi all,
I've noticed that Pablo's belly looks lopsided after I feed him. Yesterday I did a 50% water change and since then his beek/nose area has been a little dark. His belly is still white and he is swimming around fine but I'm a little worried. I read somewhere his belly should stay full for awhile but he looks skinny again within 8 - 10 hours after feeding. Should I treat for internal parasites?
 
Lopsided is totally normal after eating. Can you post a pic so we can see how skinny he is? What are you feeding him?
 
8-10 hours sounds normal depending on how much you feed him. How skinny is skinny? If his belly get concave he could have parasites. If you post a picture that would help.
 
I'm feeding ramshorns, bloodworms and a little bit of market shrimp.

I couldn't get any good pics of him this morning, I'll try again later but my camera is not so premium.

Water params are all zero.
