    Advice to Help My Bloated Neon?

    So my black neon tetra has become very bloated (I've attached some photos). She's still swimming and eating fine, and she isn't separating herself from the fish which is good! I suspect it may have been due to me feeding her flakes, but I've now switched to micro pellets. The neon has been...

    Pregnant tetra or bloat?

    Hi, Iā€™m looking after my cousins fish. He has some guppies and two tetras. I noticed one of them has a very distended belly and wondering if itā€™s pregnant or bloated? If the latter, how can I get itā€™s stomach down. He feeds tropical flake food. In photos is the size difference between the two.

    Bloated Betta

    My boy has not been himself now for about a week. He lost interest in his food so I'd let him fast for about a day. I would try feeding him again and he'd only eat one or two pellets, then I would fast him again. I noticed he was looking really bloated Saturday night so I did a 75% water change...

    Bloated Male Guppy

    I have a 10 gallon tank with 7 male guppies. I had fed them only once a day but then switched to twice a day feedings with NutriDiet Tropical Flakes. The reason for the switch is that they are a bit more territorial than I thought they'd be without females and they are nipping each others tails...
