Bn Plec Fry Urgent Question

[stiffler69]

Ok i have a load of my fry from my lost drop have rather large stomach and it seems they have some sort of movement in their gut area when im looking at them on the glass is it normal too see the movement inside them, i have had a internal parasite problem in my livebearer tank but have not had them together at all. Is this normal they have been munching on cucumber most of the night so it could just be bowl movement.

Try feeding peas to rule out constipation, if that doesnt help investigate dropsy if their scales look raised or the parasite thing I had the same issue with my first batch of BN fry a year or so back and feeding them raw (peeled) peas fixed it I think I got excited about the fry so overfed them to begin with.

Hi thanks for that they only had peas the day before, i think what i saw was full tummys digesting the food they had just ate all seems well today and the tank has been wormed so all been well they should be fine, thanks for the info though
