Strange subject, pardon, Big Puffer Bum ?
I appologize for the subject being discussed, but I am curious.
Today my GSP took the biggest poop ever and his bum was stuck open all day. I was just wondering if anyone else has seen the same thing happen? It just seemed a little odd to me, and caught me off guard.
I feed mostly bloodworms and mysis shrimp. He also eats krill, mussels, and snails when I can get them.

Seen it on my guys a few times, always seems to go down in a day or so. Not sure the causes, but unless it's red and irritated, I wouldn't worry.
No matter how magnificent your successes or devastating your failures, the worlds' approximately 5 billion impoverished people could not possibly care less.

Caused by constipation. Are you feeding a varied diet?
