SheKoi   Fish Addict Posts: 667 Kudos: 553 Votes: 4 Registered: 11-Feb-2004   | All was fine this morning, nothing different with the fish. i feed them with some flakes and dried bloodworm and i dropped in a waffer for the pl*co and corys. i noticed that the angel was feeding very fast then once finish he started eating the waffer. about 2 hours later i walked past the tank and notice he looks like hes eaten a marble, hes stomach is very round and swollen? scales aren't sticking out so don't think it's dropsey. is it just the fact hes eaten so much? or is there something else wrong? shekoi www.blooming-brilliant.co.uk |

At the store, clown loachs, oscars, and polleni commonly have swollen bellies, usually from eating too much. Try to spread out the means, feeding them in portions throughout the day. |
