Is My Plat Fat Or Sick?

[RobGoldsmith]

Hey guys

My two fish seen here (yellow and red) have become very big, the yellow is female and had 5 fry last week, the male is the red one but seems to also be big!

Do you think i have a problem with the tank or possibly just overfeeding? They chew on my plants all day!

Hope it isnt serious!

Any ideas?

They look fat, but apart from that fine. How much do you feed?

 

[RobGoldsmith]

haha weirdly i find it hard to say how much i feed them once a day though

Try limiting it so that they finish everything in 30 seconds? They are not particularly obese, just not lean.

ok just the slow ones seem to ever get any

Give a pinch, but first it depends how many fish in the tank.
