YES! i will still turn it down. 86 is way too high and it will cause him a lot of harm. get it down to 80.
It looks like he might be a bit bloated/might develop SBD. fast him for a few days and see if the lump goes away. also you should buy more high quality pellets. Omega One and New Life Spectrum are good choices.
