Just Bloated? (Photos)

[HollieDahhrlinn]

Hey,
My DG is alittle bloated i think, i fed her afew bloodworm in garlic juice last night
as i have heard that this is something fish cant resist - she doesnt normally bloat from this??
She is bloated this morning i think.
She i still growing and i'm aware that DG have that little kinda drop behind their chin and this is normal.
Just their shape.

I needed a second opinion,
Thanks x

Imge no 2 - you can see a slight 'bulge' on her side, this is what its like all the way underneath.

Mine both look like that after they eat. Were they frozen or freeze-dried BW's? Mine bloat more on the freeze-dried ones.

They were frozen and then defrosted,
dont know the difference??

So do you think she's okay?
Could you attach some images of yours?
Would love to see them

One of my tiger barbs do that after freeze-dried bloodworms and stays like that for a couple of hours(after a little while I thought that one was pregnant!! )

Hmmm, maybe she really liked the garlic and ate a lot more than usual?
I am not really sure about the difference, but when I give mine the freeze-dried ones, they bloat more, ESPECIALLY my BGK, and he is not even the same fish.
I will get some pics later today when I feed mine okay? I am at work right now, and don't get off for another 1/2 hour, and then I don't feed them till about 4pm tonight, (it is 530am where I am right now).
But I will take pics and post them for you.

Thanks, yeah that would be great, Dont go out of your way though.

Thanks to everyone for posting - you were all right, its cool now she's not as rounded anymore, yeah she only normally has like 2 bloodworms, she had like 5 maybe even 6 last night - the garlic must have just been irrasistable for her hahaa.

Thanks again, looking forward to the pics.

Here is what my blue one looks like all the time. He's a fattie.

dkpate - thanks, so they do have that kinda 'drop' under their chins, i was hoping it was just her shaping out - i love DG!

 

[dkpate]

Sorry the pic isn't bigger....
But yeah, that's my fat one, and there is nothing wrong with him, and he breathes faster than the other one too. He is my mean one, Gimli.

Gimli is cute!
So i havent had any troubles with my female. I did have a m and a f in the tank but the m was attacking my platy's before they died from a disease they got from the LPS.
My female is lovely to my other fish. ilher so much x

[dkpate]

Awww! Sorry to hear that!

 

[HollieDahhrlinn]

Aww I'm Sorry To Hear That.
Evilameba - if you dont want to then its fine - would it be rude to ask for pictures if you could? If not then its fine.

All the best - hope you caught it in time
