Hello, again. Sorry I ask so many questions 
Lets start at the beginning, do fry have egg sacs attached to their lower abdomen? I have heard that they do and they feed off of this and the food that is given to them for the first few days.
If that is true, what does it look like when the egg sac empties out? All my fry have these pockets on their abdomens that look like they are filled with clear fluid or air. Is this normal? Im reall worried because while most look fine there is one whose "bubble" is black instead of clear.
Am I overfeeding perhaps? I feed them 3-4 times a day by sticking a toothpick or my finger in their powdered food and swirling it in their tank. I take about an inch of water out of the tank each night and am sure to suck up any leftover food on the bottom.
Thanks for any help. I am so nervous for my babies. I did some searches on swollen tummies but couldnt get anything helpful/
