Lumpy Suvatti

When I feed my suvatti shrimp, his belly gets extremely lopsided, like the food is only going to one side of him. I didn't notice it while he was eating feeders and crays. Any ideas?

I don't know about suvatti's but its normal with some of mine. Both my baileyis and my palembang get lopsided tummies, too.

Haha. I just noticed it and it freaked me out pretty bad. I thought his side was gonna explode.

Mine do this with certain foods, I consider it normal behaviour.

Might wanna feed a lil less, if it looks like it's gonna explode.

Well, it just freaked me out cuz it got bigger really quick. I only feed him a half inch piece of shrimp every other day.

Depending on how big he is, that might be too much food or too often. Lurkers don't need to eat as often as more active fish IMO.

He's around 2.5 inches.
The bump usually goes down in around hour.
He always seems really hungry. He zooms up and down the glass all day.
