My Female Always Gets A Big Belly

[marieukxx]

She is always getting a fat belly at the front. She's in a community tank, my male who is on his own doesn't get this.

My other fish in the tank are fine it's just her. I've stopped her food yesterday and just given them all shelled peas and again today as she's still looking fat. It's that bulge at the front. It's gone down a bit since yesterday.

Does anyone else have this problem?

I have girls that suffer with big bellys......they are the guts of the tank. The problem with community tanks you try to feed all your fish and guess who gobbles most of it. If one gets really bad I have to isolate her and put her on a diet. It would pay you to have a spare tank for such occasions.

yep its mainly due to being in commuity tanks and gobbling all they can my lot are the same (although not as bad now) then even rip cucumber to shreads to eat that
