Angelfish

[sallyfish]

My angel fish (nickel size) look distend in the belly area, right behind the lower feelers (I know that's probably not the right name.) It's only a small area, if I didn't know better I would say they have a bunch of eggs in there. But I believe they are too young for that. I think they are about 4-5 months old.
4 of the 6 are affect, one of the affected angels is 50 cent size. Could they have just eaten too many guppy fry? Yesterday I started feeding them blood worms for the first time. But that was 6 pm last night. Now it's 4 pm the next day.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

I use my guppy fry in the tank as their monthly treat too

Yes, they are probably just eating to much. Starve them a few days, it won't hurt them, if they don't slim down then feed them some defrosted, shelled, smashed up green peas. This will help clean out there guts.

Thanks so much! Who would have thought, shelled peas!

Angelfish are much better today!
Thanks for all your help!
I'm glad to have a site like this one!

I boil my peas for a sec to soften them, they seem to eat them better.

Well darn! I fed them tonight and they swelled right back up again. I guess I'll go to the store and get some peas.
