Okay so I originally thought my platy was pregnant, but itās been well over a month since sheās been so big so Iām pretty sure she has bloat. I heard that feeding fish peas would help bloat, so I thawed a handful of frozen peas in water and dropped a few in. Then I went out for a couple hours, and when I came back home, they were pretty much untouched other than a couple that had the skin broken before I put them in. So I squished the few that were left and my fish (14 fish total minus fry) ate them all in an instant, not leaving any for my platy. So I took the cup that they were thawed in, smashed the rest while in the cup, and dumped it in. I didnāt realize, however, that there were dozens of peas left in that cup still. Theyāre currently going nuts for these peas, but Iām worried that something could go wrong in feeding so many peas. I read that the skin is bad for them but I also read that it isnāt from a different source. Do I take the peas out? Do I let them eat them over time? What do I do?? Picture of the mess here:
