PLEASE HELP and tell me whats wrong.

| I'm not sure. I hope that's just the guppie working it's way out otherwise he may be having trouble digesting it. |

It does look bad.
It could be one of 2 things, either way, I'd recommend a vet trip.
It could be impaction due to the size of the 'food', or it could be the other internal organs have been forced out of the way due to the passage of the food.
Like I said though, I'd check with a vet really.  |

Meant to edit that,
What I was trying to say was that in my opinion it looks like it could be either:
Impaction due to large food, or
Other organs forced out of they way by the large food.
To be honest i'm not experienced enough with ACF to be able to say, you may just wake up one morning to find a nice nornal looking frog, with a giant poo blocking the filters. |

It sounds like he just has what is essentially a bit of baggy skin on him where it stretched.
I'd imagine that it will go down as time goes, but how long it takes is a different question.
But glad to hear he's recovering ok. |
