my RES are about 2-3 incehs long, and i carefully inspect them from outside the tank everydayafter i feed them, and after i fed one of them i can see he is keeping his bum open for some reason, i dont know if hes trying to poo or something, but is there a more serious reason? hes been doing it for 20 minutes straight, and he is still doing it now

Does this always happen? Is it happening to both? Have they been pooing regularly?

Are you saying that he fans after you feed him? If something is coming out, is it pink or dark purple in color?
