Wondering if you can tell me why these two are so fat? Activity level is great, they're swimming with their schools, they are both the biggest pigs I've ever met.


Will check the levels if needed but I just checked two days ago and every thing was in normal range.
 
I don't see any white spots on them are their? if no clamped fins or stressed looking i would say maybe pregnant females or maybe not and nothing to be concerned about.?
 
If they are still active within their schools, they should be gravid (not pregnant!!! That only applies to livebearers) females. The only other condition that you should be on the watch for would be constipation. If you are seeing them pooping as much as eating, then just enjoy their plumpness ;)

Hope this helps
 
Thanks! I call the danio big momma because she (I'm pretty sure) is the one spawning every week. My tank isn't the right conditions for the rasbora to spawn so what happen then? She just carries those eggs forever?
