Freshwater Beginners A place where freshwater aquarium fish beginners can go to post their questions and hopefully get responses from those more experienced. Also check out the Freshwater Fish Beginner's Guide and Aquarium Setup Guides. Setting up a new freshwater aquarium can be a rather large project and you want to make sure you do it right the first time. If you need help with your fish tank please don't be afraid to ask questions. That's what this fish forum is all about!

Couple Fish look fat??

So i just feed my fish about 20 minutes ago and was about to go back to work and turn off the light when i noticed 1 of my zebras and 1 neon both have kinda bigger stomachs then the rest of the fish, they both seem to be swimming around fine tho.

Is this because i just fed them or ??

It may be because they just ate, or it may be because they're pregnant. My danios are always pregnant, lol.

They may be preggers, but not all fish that get pregnant actually lay eggs so don't expect babies. neon tetra, of example, usually reabsorb them.

If they start swimming funny, they may be sick.

i wouldnt worry unless the scales are protruding as well.... chances are these chubby fish are the same ones that are the first to get to the surface during feeding time.... secondly i would expect prego fish..... but no worries unless the scales, or other sickness related side effects show up...
