Help!!!

Help!! I have 4 pea puffers. They only eat bloodworms. Today, 2 of the small ones look like they have bloodworms coming out of them. Like instead of the black poop.. it looks like bloodworms???

I have not see this with dps but can be common with larger species that the feces can retain the shape of the food.

Yeah.. Ive had the puffers for a week now.. still trying to figure out how to feed properly. 2 of the puffers (the 2 I posted about) eat the bloodworms so fast and will take them away from the others so they get very round bellies.
