Swollen Bellies...Am I overfeeding or is it something else?

I have had a community aquarium for going on two months. This is all new to me. Over the past week, I have noticed that my Zebra Danios and Brilliant Rasboras stomach areas are all starting to bulge. From the research I have done so far, I am starting to think that I may be overfeeding them. I feed them once a day, in the evening what they can eat in less than two minutes. In the past few days, I have reduced that to one minute out of concern for this issue. I started out with flakes but switched to pellets last week of the same brand. Extreme community crave. I have attached images for reference. Any ideas/help would be greatly appreciated!

Your fish look incredible. I don't see any signs of bloating either, just very healthy fish

They look healthy to me. No signs of bloat from what I can see.

This is great to hear! They are acting normal so I'm not overly concerned but they definitely didn't have that "full belly" look when I got them. A few of the Danios had rounder bellies when I got them so I just assumed they were female and now they ALL look like that!

Fish are usually a bit emaciated from being kept at the store so no worries! They're just healthy now if the lights in my tank weren't off already I'd post a picture of my own rasboras haha. Neat little fish

I have a couple(used to long story there) Zebras that looked the same way. I just assumed they were full of eggs.
