	Really FAT Danios
zookeper Hobbyist Posts: 106 Kudos: 62 Votes: 6 Registered: 19-Apr-2007	In my 16 Gallon Fantasy Bowl I have 4 Danios. I actually have had them for like 2 years and they were my cycling fish. 2 of the Danios are totally FAT. I mean like nearly round in the belly. I do not overfeed at all. I am guessing they are carrying eggs but for how long do they carry their eggs before laying them? They have been way fat for a few weeks. They are healthy, they swim all day and chase the others etc and eat fine so I dont think there is anything wrong with them. I have just never seen such fat lil Danios before.

I have glowlight tetras like that: no problem identifying the females! ~~~~~~~~~~~~ There is water at the bottom of the ocean
