Eggs, Too much food, constipation, other?!?!

[xxSarahxx]

Ok so, I am really sorry if this is answered elsewhere but I couldn't find it. If it ahs please show me the link and I will be happy to take it from there!
I've just looked in on my two female bettas and they are both HUGE!! I can't tell if they are just fat and they have eaten too much or if they are carrying eggs (if so......what do I do?!?!?!?!) or if it's something else.
They've just had some bloodworm (from frozen) but incase they are constipated, which I doubt, I have given them some shelled pea as well.
They were looking quite lethargic and resting on their huge bellies but now are a bit more active.
I am truly sorry if this is over the top and paranoid but that's me!!!
They had a water change yesterday and stats should be perfect.
If it is at all relevant I had to clean the male betta tanks out today and the small tank I normally put them in developed a huge crack in the bottom and is no longer suitable so they ended up in a breeding tank inside the main community tank that has the females in.......... please don't yell at me this was all I could do at the time and they were ignored and perfectly safe, I'm getting a new tank for cleaning jobs tomorrow!!
They are all fed on a variety of food including, frozen bloodworms, tetra betta flakes (can't get betta pellets here) tubifex worms - freeze dried, cucumber, courgette, peas (they get fresh veg twice a week and frozen food twice a week)
I'm TERRIFIED of them becoming egg bound so please help!!
Thanks guys! xxx

i think they may just be fat from to much food lol in the right light i could see when they was holding eggs.
would it be on of mine or did u buy a new one?

[xxSarahxx]

Both of your clover!!!
I think they've just eaten too much!!! Wouldn't surprise me...... but you know how paranoid I am!!!
I've taken some photos so going to load them up! Can you actually see eggs then if they are carrying?!?!

 

[willtang3000]

they are to small for breeding right now unless they have had a groth spert lol

best to be safe than sorry xxsarahxx soon as i see the pics ill now what my step children are doing lolol

 

[xxSarahxx]

I have no plans to breed them as of yet as I don't think they are old enough, however, they have grown quite a bit!!!
The pictures are taking forever to be sent to my e-mail from my phone so give me a minute and there will be pictures!!!
I'm sure I'm just being paranoid but I had to check and be sure!

 

[xxSarahxx]

Ok, here are the pictures! They are bad as always as from my camera phone but they might help!
Their bellies look perfectly round and slightly silver, I can't see any eggs inside, no egg shaped things. I know they are stress striped at the moment but it's just from catching them for the peas and the pictures.

hiya i dont think they do have any eggs but are jst well fed,

on another note do they always have these strips?

 

[xxSarahxx]

No, why? They only have them when I am catching them. Tink sometimes has lines going vertically that bend in the middle like a V on it's side. I think they've just overfed themselves on the bloodworms! It wouldn't surprise me!

just woundering lol
they were such pigs here to they would eat untill fat and still hold aload in there mouth so no one else would pintch them lol

 

[xxSarahxx]

I'm really curious about the interest in those stripes. They've gone now by the way. Still got the bellies! I think they've got some in their mouths too!!!!!! Tubby little things, they have grown a lot though since they have been here.
Clover you should have seen how uninterested Oberon was when he was in there...... it was SO funny!! He just kept watching me cleaning his tank like "Mum, what are you doing?? You only did that a few days ago, Mum I had stored food in there......... OOHHH MUUUUMM!!!"

awww bless them

they are scared strips

i have a few of there sister here who send there love lol and say hi lol

 

[xxSarahxx]

I did mention about the stress stripes!! Look above! That's ok, as long as that is all that it is....too much food then I'm happy!
Sorry to be paranoid!!
They send their love back to their siblings!! I send my love to you!!!
I'm trying to post more pictures of Oberon and my other two boys as well, just so you know!
