Fish with big belly !!

[Christopherlh84]

Me of my female emperor Tera's belly is big. Shes not as active as usual could she be prego?

She could just be full of eggs , or she could be bloated. Is she round or does she have
A sharper corner effect to her bely?

 

[Christopherlh84]

Looks round kinda like a prego human

 

[Bubbles0oO]

Probably bloated then. I heard peas help with bloating but o would have to double check with someone else.

K thanks I will keep a eye on her till tomorrow evening if she don't get better I will try something like peas or whatever someone recommends.

What causes bloat? My axolotl died due to this.

Overfeeding will cause fish to bloat, increase air supply, and change the water

If it is pregnant, is the male doing anything unusual at this time??

 

[bettaowner]

The water didn't seem that dirty. Might have been overfeeding.

He is stay close to her not really anything else

The situation is probably breeding, separate the breeding pair from the other fish because the others will eat it!

Yes I would give her one deshelled pea, and fast her for a day and monitor closely.

They cant get pregnant they are egg layers, and the male may just want to mate

A breeding pair (and I use the term loosely, as these fish do not pair off) is just as likely to eat their own eggs as any of the other fish in the tank. They are egg scatterers and exhibit no parental care.

Well now my female looks to be almost back to her size and my male is hanging around one of my plants.
