Fat Male Guppy?

[Peternub]

I dont see a guppy.. do you mean the orange platy??? Just looks fat

 

[Peternub]

my bad its a platy, i properly was thinking of sometihng else when typing , normal fat? or too fat?

 

[WILDER]

Its look fat to me aswell.
Don't over feed fish it can lead to health problems like burst intestines.

Looks normal fat to me, is it lethargic or acting "abnormal" in any way? If not you probably dont have anything to worry about, I had more than a few platys in the past and all of mine were slightly "over-weight".... lol

just a random question, it was the fist time that i fed them alge wafers, 3 guppy and 3 platy how many wafers should i feed them? and thankyou for the reply

As Wilder said don't feed too much as some fish will over-eat and hurt themselves. I would do maybe 2 for all of them, if its the pleco disks I think you are talking about. Remember that the stomachs of your fish are slightly bigger than their eyes (if that), I say its better to keep my fish a little hungry than bloated , try feeding a little bit 2 or 3 times a day rather than 1 big feeding. You should also get some more nutritional foods like freeze-dried brine shrimp, blood worms once in a while is good too. Flakes arent out of the question also!!!

yeh the blood worms are in the freezer, also i use tetra flakes, are the pelets or fish food in a plastic bag with no brand or information bad? cause i got quiet a big amount of it

 

[SlyPolak]

Where did you get it?? As long as its not expired i guess its good.... you might want to stick those in the freezer too, lasts longer.

 

[WILDER]

Don't over feed bloodworms they can cause bloating.
I would only feed them no more than twice a week.

Frozen daphnia and brime shrimp are good.
