They have a tendency to gorge themselves and really blow up. I wouldn't worry too much about it.

MalleMalle, what do you feed that thing!?

Hah, mine barely eats at all. The only time I've seen him eat is when I've dropped a shrimp pellet close enough to his face, or he sees it, then he opens his mouth like a Hoover and sucks it all up. The other fish probably outcompete him for food. I usually drop a couple pellets in the cave he's hiding in, just to give him an edge.

HEY, that's an Agmus! or whatever it's called these days.

They're supposed to look like that; the usual Buno's are flat, these aren't.
