I don't think this should be in the sick fish forum, but wanted to know if it is common when a female betta is added to a community tank for them to get very fat? I added my two female bettas to my established 29g a couple of weeks ago. They are fine and getting along with everyone....BUT, they are getting obese...probably morbidly obese in fish terms. I will try to capture a picture, but they are hard to capture. I feed flake food most of the time for them and my lamp eye tetras. I feed either shrimp pellets or sinking algae wafers to my cories and pleco. Now, occasionally they will finish what they want of the flake food and go eat floating food coming off of the cory/pleco food. I know I am not overfeeding my other fish because no one else is close to fat....but they are huge. Is this normal or something to worry about??
