Bloated Danio?

[Robot_Rooster]

does this danio look bloated to you? or is it just a female,





thanks in Advance!

 

[WILDER]

Hard to tell with the position she in but I would say yes she does look bloated.

 

[Robot_Rooster]

do you think it could be dropsy? her scales don't stick out (sticking out scales is a symptom of dropsy)

 

[WILDER]

Is it possible to load another pic up as it really quite hard to say.
Does she looked bloated to you or just fat.

I have a female leopard danio that looks that fat normally about once a month then she lays eegs and goes down a bit but always looks fatter than the other danios. hope that helps

i wouldnt say it was dropsy. not very easy to tell from that angle but my personal opinion is that she is pregnant. just keep an eye on her or possibly him.

 

[Robot_Rooster]

Thanks you two, and i wouldnt know the difference between a fat fish and a bloated fish

Vid

 

[WILDER]

Enjoyed watching that.
She looks fine to me.
She looks active. When fish are bloated there usually act sluggish and lethagic.

 

[Robot_Rooster]

im not sure if thats sarcasm or what wilder but i feel relieved now thats shes fine.

for some reason my camera is better at filming because when i try to take pictures its like the fish have anti focus

 

[WILDER]

Feed some peas. I feed my fish them twice aweek.
She seems active enough.
Just keep a close eye on her though.

I'm fairly certain that she is just gravid but as Wilder suggested, keep an eye on her.

 

[Robot_Rooster]

do i cook the peas?

 

[nosoup4you]

Just boil the water and then pop them in for a minute. Take them out and run cool water over them, de-hull, and feed.

 

[Robot_Rooster]

hmm would it be fine if they were leftover peas from dinner? (not served out or anything)

because i have no idea what de-hull means

 

[nosoup4you]

De-hull means squish the insides out between your fingers and throw the skin away. lol leftover peas from dinner would be fine as long as nothing has been added to them (salt, butter, etc.).
