Hi everyone, is it possible for fish to be overweight? I added a shoal of neon tetras today (were meant to be 8 but there's 9) and that's when I noticed how streamlined they were compared to the others.
I have 4 long fin leopard danios 2 of which are quite chubby (the ones with the smaller fins and they haven't got the shimmer the other 2 have got)
I also have 4 platinum tetras which were streamlined a month ago but now 3 of them have big bellys too. Am I feeding them too much? This is my regime:
Monday - brineshrimp from the pouch
Tuesday - flake,
Wednesday - flake
Thursday - frozen brineshrimp and an algae wafer at night (the corys love them)
Friday - flake, peas
Saturday - brineshrimp from the pouch
Sunday - flake
I have 2 filters, the old one from the old tank and the new one which is turning brown, the water stats are always spot on but I don't know if maybe there's something else going on.
Here are some pics
These are the platinum tetras when I first got them about a month or so ago
and now
And the danios
this one in particular looks like it's going to burst
In comparison to the one with the biggest fins
These are the best pics I could get the danios zip about very fast.
Thanks
