I went to go feed the striped today, he looks limp, very thin and had a huge swollen abdomen with the white crust all around his vent. I soaked him in warm water until it came off.
I really hate to say this to you, but I had the exact same situation with (ironically) an Amel. Stripe, and by the time I noticed it (same stage you're describing) there was nothing to be done. He was dead within two days.

I'm sorry, it's never to late for a Vet to check it out though.

Here's the thread, see if it rings any bells with you...
