i have 2 black skirt tetras and i just noticed this morning that one of them has a BIG belly!!!

my LFS is closed so i cant call and talk to anyone due to the holiday!!

here are two pictures. its the one that looks like its bloated. How do i know if its pregnant or if its dropsy?!

im cooking some peas right now to put in the tank, but i have the little clover floating things on the top and they eat those, i was told that would prevent dropsy...

HELP PLEASE!!

its the fish on the bottom in both pictures

Just looks fat to me. Defiantly not pregnant as they lay eggs.
What have you been feeding?
 
Nutrafin Max-Tropical Fish Flakes [daily]

and every tuesday they get a small frozen block of either brine shrimp or frozen blood worms... [alternating weeks]
