One of my F8's has had a darker than normal belly and it always seems full, whereas my other F8 seems fine. The one with the full belly doesn't have a fully darkened belly but more spotty. Could this be IP? He still eats like a pig but no more than normal. Also have not noticed anything abnormal coming from the anus.

I have had the fish for about a year now.
In a 60g with a dragon goby, bbg's, another F8 and an archer fish
water parameters are

ph 8.2
nitrates - around 20 or under
nitrites - 0
ammonia - 0
temp - 78 F

Might just be from being so stuffed all the time. One of my GSPs gets those when he has eaten too much.

After I posted this I looked at him again and the little grayness he had to the belly was gone. I am thinking he is just a little piggy:D
