Hi, Im a little worried about some of my fish (ember tetras, white cloud minnows) About half of them are healthy or even on the skinny side, and the other half are chubby or bloated. They all eat well and none are being bullied out of their food so i don't think any are over eating( the skinny fish eat just as much as the bloated ones)
I thought they might have been pregnant but it's been several months, way past how long google said the pregnancy term was (which i know isn't a wonderful source but they shouldn't be months off). They appear healthy in every other respect though, and don't seem in any danger of dying. They don't drift or tilt and they don't sit at the bottom all day. They can keep up quite easily with the healthier looking fish. I don't see any poop etc. hanging from any of them either. Is it just genetics or is there a problem I'm not seeing?
I'll try to get a picture but they're all so little my camera doesnt do a very good job. The two in the back there's one with a silver belly and the other is slimmer. Again the picture is really bad so if it doesn't help no worries.
Thank you guys!!
