Hi everyone,
Swollen Belly On A Tiger Barb
oh no... after I've read that post, I am worrying about my zebra danio now... she had been one of the earliest fish inside my fish tank. Since that day, she's been having a swollen belly, it's kind of like bloated. I have read female zebra danio should have bloated bodies but I am quite sure her belly is "bigger" than usual ones.
It's been 3 months now, she seems fine. I never fed any live foods (or frozen lives food) to any of my fishes, due to I've heard it's quite fillings for diets as well as those might contain parasites. Call me silly but till now that is the only reason keep me away from buying those live foods(either frozen or living). I would like to get some baby brime shrimps for them but nowhere in here have those *sigh*
I feed my fish with different kind of thing though, like vegetables, flake food, Pellets fish food, Freeze-Dried Blood Worms (from Hikari) as well as freeze-dried brime shrimps (aslo from Hirkari)
I do realised that if I feed less, the belly seems not that bloated, still she like to pick and eat those plants leaves if I feed too little so that never gonna helps
if she's really having bacterial problem, I wonder what should I do? hope it's not as wilder had mentioned "Once they get a bacterial problem and they are really bloated up no nothing would of helped really"
