Hello out there!!
I have had my 29 gallon up for about 3 months now, its a tank of bloodfin (5), neon(7) and glowlight tetras(5). After working with larger fish for so long, I wanted to try a tank of smaller guys . The parameters are nitrate 0 ppm, nitrite 0 ppm, hardness 120, Alkalinity 80 ppm and a pH of about 7.4 with good aeration and my filter does about 250gallons an hour. Ive got a few live plants and just a gravel bottom, no plastic decoration, just plants and river rock for hiding.
I have notices that one of my glowlights has bloated up over about 2 days. His abdomen is pretty large and his coloration is suffering from it. I feed flake food once a day. This one glowlight it the only one like this. Normal feces and swims around with the rest of them. i am just curious to what this is.
I also have a 55 gallon with tinfoils and albino tiger barbs where one of the tiger barbs abdomen is quite distended. It has been like that for 3-4 years now. (i don't have this tank with me, i had to temporarily leave it with my parent becasue I moved cross country, thats another issue i will have to deal with, trying to get the to the east coast where i am now )
but in general, this distended abdomen, i am just curious to see what every one thinks it
Thanks!!
(I cant figure out how to make my picture small enough to upload)
