He doesn't look that bad to me, but it could be a variety of things based off those pictures. If his lower half wont stay down it could be swim bladder issues. If he is truly bloated, he could be constipated or have parasites. All are manageable with some research, no reason to kill the...

Your talking about large predatory fish, just starve them and throw in frozen tilapia or market prawns every couple days until they eat. They will not starve, I promise. With that said, you need to get them off feeders ASAP. Feeders are riddled with diseases and sooner or later with infect your...
