Stuffed Fish

[Bugdozer]

I fed my black phantom tetras some live brine shrimp for the first time today. I accidentally put more in than I intended to, and after the tetras had zoomed round eating them all, some of them are looking visibly fatter around the stomach. Could this harm the fish or bung them up?

Having read other comments about this sort of thing on here, may I suggest that a starvation diet might be the order of the day? I.E. a day without food and then give them some mashed pea INSTEAD of food in case they are constipated? After that keep an eye on them and feed sparingly.

Yes, sounds like a good idea. I'd already decided that tomorrow was going to be a food free day!
