Anyone Know What This Is?

[myssbehavin]

I can't find the name of this fish anywhere? I was told it was a tiger tetra at the pet shop. I have searched for tiger tetra's and cant find any info
Anyways I have 4 of these fish they all look the same except 2 of them have really bloated bellies. I dont know if they are pregnant or sick? I tried to post this in the fish emergencies but it said I wasn't allowed to post in that forum.
Sorry about the quality of the pics, they weren't cooperating

so anyone know what type of fish these are and if you can see the belly are they pregnant or bloated?

Black Skirt Tetra.

No pregnant, that's for sure, they're egg layers.

Try feeding them some shelled peas.

yup black widow tetras!!

thanks for the replies. Canned, fresh or frozen peas? Do I stop feeding them the other food and just feed peas? How often should I feed them peas? Sorry for all the questions

I have two of these, cool fish. I like their sudden speed bursts!

I think frozen peas then take of the shell, and mush up the inside and feed it to them (someone may need to confirm for me)

as it maybe bloat

unfortunately this might be a sickness. I had a dwarf guarami and its belly bloated up till it looked like it was gonna burst...... then it died. My lfs said it either swallowed air or it got an infection or it got mortal constapation

I have 8 black widows and some of them have the pot belly too, they're not unwell though
