I have 2 female guppies and one male, i believe that they are both pregnant. This is also the first time that I have kept guppies.

Today I noticed that the two females stomachs were much larger than normal, sorta bloated, I figured this was because they are about to have babies, i can see little fry near the anal gland. Then i noticed that on my male that his stomach was also bloated and much larger than normal...
I will try to post pics tomorrow if this will help.

my question is that could this be parasites or worms, and how to treat?
and if it is can i treat pregnant guppies?

I was thinking of adding some salt to help but i have neon tetras in the tank also and ive read that this is bad for neons.

Don't add salt with neons they don't tolerate it to well.

What do you feed the fish?
What does it look like when they go to the toilet.
Check there anus to see if its enlarged or red and inflamed.
Are scales sticking out.
Can the fish maintain there balance in the water.

Cook some frozen peas for a few minutes. Let cool down and pop out of shell. Mush into small peices and add to the tank.
