I have some 6 week old platy fry, whose bellies make them look like balloon mollies, I was wandering if this is a known problem, and what problem would it cause the fish long term. When they were born, someone on here commented they were " prem" because their yolk sacs hadn't been absorbed fully....could that be what is causing this.

sorry for the poor quality, but theres o ly so much you can do with an iphone and fish that are so small!
thanks
 
Either the mom had a balloon platy mate her and she had stored sperm resulting in balloon fry or possibly overfed?
 
They look like typical platy fry to me. It takes a while for a platy fry to start to grow longer but takes them no time at all to grow heavier.
 
Ye they look fine to me also. Just a little pop belly maybe, which would be all the food i guess your treating them too ;)
 
Thanks, I only feed them once a day, but they have been particularly fond of frozen bloodworm.
thanks
