If you're using tap water, check if it's got high mineral content. Hard water can mess with their digestion. A softener or RO water might help if that's the case.

My guy had this, turned out he was eating the snail's food. Cut back on the algae wafers and he's all good now. Maybe check if yours is sneaking extra snacks?

I had a similar scare last week. Did a water change and he was back to normal by the next day. Sometimes it's just a fluke.
