I've got a five week old tank with Zebra Danios and Leopard Danios in, along with some ruby barbs. We've set it up really carefully, and the water quality seems to have settled well. pH 7.5, NH4 <0.2, NO2 is virtually 0 and very little NO3 either.
Just tonight i've noticed 2 danios, one from each type, have bloated bellies. This looks like dropsy, but they are quite active, eating well, and are freely moving through the water column. I'm not sure. Some sites and books suggest they could be constipated, or pregnant. I hadn't noticed any mating behaviour. The worst (looking) one also has a head down attitude as it swims.
I'm not sure what to try? Any Ideas would be gratefully recieved.
Thanks :?
