For those of you who know about Africans...

I have an issue with one of my pea*****. I have noticed him not eating adn his belly area is swollen and the area near his anus seems to be a bit thin. He is keeping to himself and not really interacting with anyone else. I know Mbuna get bloat but have never heard of Pea***** getting this. I am going to do a little searching tonight but if anyone has a better insight as to what might be going on I would appreciatte he help.

Thank you
Mark
