fat fish

One of my cardinal tetras is extremely fat. I dont know if its pregnant or just very fat. I fed them today (bloodworms, granules and flakes) He looks like he might explode. 3 of them look fat but none as big as him. The fatter ones seem to be breathing quite quickly as well. I attached a...

Hey y’all! I consider myself pretty knowledgeable when it comes to tank things and what I lack knowledge on, Google to the rescue. But this one has me all sorts of confused. I “adopted” this Molly 3 months ago. My local fish store has a “Kae Tank” that he puts fish in that he can’t sell for...

Hi there, I have a really fat tetra, been like this for about 2 weeks now but really seems to ballooning now, also more on one side than the other. Water parameters are all good. Iv given them peas and starved the tank and still the same. Still is eating. I have a couple of photos, tried to get...

Hello all! I woke up this morning and noticed some of my leopard danios look swollen and one is even swimming slightly tilted to the right. I’ve had my tank for about 7 weeks now and I did a water change this past Saturday. I also placed at the time of water change API aquarium salt as I was...

Hi all, This is one of those is she pregnant or is she not? query. I've read through loads of other posts and some photos I've seen of sick fish look like mine, but some photos of pregnant fish look like mine. It feels like she's been pregnant for years! Obviously she hasn't but it's...

Hi Guys :) Slightly concerned about my Platy. I’ve had her for a good two years now, and she seems fine at the moment, but have noticed her belly has recently gotten ‘bigger’. I moved her into my 200 litre tank 3 days ago. Her eating and swimming habits haven’t changed and her scales and gills...

Hey there, glad to be on board!! )   I'm concerned about my poor OrangeFish (not had the tank long..   Concerned about fatness, and maybe a tiny bit of fin rot?   If a picture speaks 1000 words excuse me if I'm a bit verbose here
