Calling all fish Doc's

[Seamonkey]

Christy, yes I do soak the fish food in garlic drops. I was away quite a bit this summer but always had a housesitter to look after my pets. He may have had a somewhat different schedule and amount of food, probably less than I would give (I always instruct on the smaller amounts of food so the tanks don't get fouled). But from what I was told he was acting his usual piggish self.
The peice that is coming out of his anus is white and shredded looking, about 1/2 inch long. He does move about the tank a little, mostly though he just sits on the bottom lookin kinda sad.
