Fat Danio!

[Queen oF The Gravel]

hiya guys... just a quik Question.

iv got 3 danio's and when im feeding them they are all bloating really big bellys... is this a problem?

i have 2 fan tails and two mollys also... they only get fed twice a day and they dont get loads but i have to put enough in the feed the bigger fan tails. i try to temp the danoi's to one side of the tank with small amounts of food while i give the larger ones food at the other side, but they still get their fat bellys. any advice or ideas.

thanx

Is it just after feeding? If so maybe they are eating to much or gulping in to much air?
If its all the time that they appear bloated it could be Dropsy!

Not much help!

Thanx for ur reply... it is only when feeding, not all the time. They all appear really healthy. Bright colour, swimming happily, getting along with the other fish, eating fine. They just seem to bloat when they feed, then after about half hour they go back to normal. Strange!

Thanx for the help. If any one else has any more ideas id be really glad to hear.

What do you feed your fish?
Cook some frozen peas for a few minutes, let cool down, pop out of shell, mush between fingers into small bits and add to the tank.

thats for the pea information, is that just for a change of meal of dose that help with them bloating?

i feed them on flake and frozen food every so often.

thanx
