Feed them, flake, and sometimes brine shrimp as a treat.
nitrite 0
nitrate 7
ph 7.7
amonia 0
it is a large swolen belly, starting just below the gills and finishing by his anal fin.
i can only describe it like he can't digest a garden pea, (not been fed garden peas but that's what it would look like)
More frozen foods like daphnia which is very good for digesting a fish food.
Livebearers need veg in there diet so try some shelled peas.
Can the fish maintain it balance in the water, and check there no scales sticking out.
I would try an epson salt bath on the fish one teaspoon to a gal.
What other fish do you have in the tank as I would add some salt fi there no scaless fish in there.

the guppy can maintain balance.
will try some shelled peas.
no scales that i can see stickling out.
i have mollies, boesmani rainbows, 6 banded barbs, black phantoms, a twig catfish, guppies.
the problem is only the bloatedness. i will try to get a picture.
will try in 5 mins to have a pic.
best pic i could get.
thank you for your help up to now by the way.
