Bloated Male Platy

[SarahMarie]

I've noticed this morning that one of my male platys looks very bloated. If it was a female I'd think she was pregnant. But it's definitely a male. Does this look normal to everyone or is something wrong. I'm quite new to fish keeping so any help would be really appreciated. Thanks!

looks normal to me just looks like he ate a bit too much wait till tomorrow and see if he passes some of it I stand open to correction I'm not a platy expert in any way my guppies sometimes do this then it passes in a day

Thanks. He is the biggest eater out of all 6 of my platies. I think he's the dominant male in the tank (there's only 1 other, the rest are female). I'll see how he is tomorrow. I worry about them lol

I have a few platies and I have noticed they have two shapes... same as your picture above... I have round ones and more slender ones.  I am only keeping females right now and I have them in both shapes.

Thanks for your help. I feel a bit less worried now! He's always been the biggest but he looked especially fat today so I thought something was wrong

He's looking quite a bit thinner now. I guess y'all were right! Thanks so much
