Swollen belly in Zebrasoma.

Troy8808

Hello everyone! Please tell me, after returning from vacation, I found that the zebra's belly is very swollen... I was away for 8 days, and they were fed constantly. I left dry food, shrimp without shells, and artemia. All the fish are fine except for the zebra. What's wrong with it? What should I do?

I need to see photos and videos of the fish, and more information on how it eats, how it behaves; it might just be obesity.

The fish is dead.

Conclusion: it's better not to overfeed fish than to overfeed them. It would have been enough to just feed them and leave. On the reef, they would have found a zebrasoma to eat. In such cases, before leaving, it would be good to throw a couple of bunches of caulerpa and chaetomorpha into the reef. After 3-5 days of your absence, they wouldn't have been hungry.
