How Long

[coyemuse]

Just wondered, when you feed fish, how long does it take their bellies to get back to normal?

They should slim down within an hour or two, unless they are a gravid female.

gravid? I have one girl, the one who dropped fry 3.5 weeks ago, and she looks like shes about to drop again, even got squared off, and its been 3 hours since feeding

 

[thereverendturtle]

Gravid, a pregnant female live bearer or an egg laden, egg layer. If its just the one fish, then I'd say she's fine.

 

[coyemuse]

Just trying to estimate if shes more squared because of the feeding, or if shes really about to drop

Well yes it is possible she is about to drop as livebeares to get pregnant again. Sometimes more often than you expect.
