Giant Danio

Hi all,

I was just looking at my fish today while feeding and it might just be normal but my giant danios stomach area looks abit bigger or is it normal as it is a giant danio and maybe she/he is just getting bigger?

Could she be pregnant? Constipated?

Yeah, I think it might either be that shes full of eggs or constipated, I am going to boils some peas, mash them to see if that helps..

I just gave some mashed peas, all my fish seemed to love them! My giant danio also ate it, lets see if it helps now.. Is their anything else i could do? Maybe not feed for afew days?

Holding off from feeding their normal diet for a day or two should help diagnose if constipation is to blame.

Females have a bit of a tendency to get pretty fat whether they're eggy or not They're just chubs

She does seem slightly over-big though. Just keep holding feed from them - up to about 5 days is fine. My danios only get fed once a week. If she's not come down any by then, I'd say eggy

Hey, thanks for your reply also, but sadly after I came back from work today I found her dead...
I am thinking maybe it was consipation?..
It was sad to see her die because she was so tiny when I got her.. RIP 'Pearl' < what she was named ..

Sorry to hear about your fish

 

[hensonc4098]

Aw that's rubbish Sorry to hear that.

Sorry this ended badly.

I'd guess at one of two things, either it is a female heavily filled with eggs, or this fish was suffering from sort sort of internal disease such as parasites.
