for the last few days I have noticed one of the fry which are now 16 days old, always eats off the bottom, I rarely have seen it eat off the top, but I can always tell it apart from the others because it has a huge belly. After its eaten its even bigger and looks like it will explode. I feed the fish 2x a day, grown ups and fry in the same tank, all they can eat for 1 minute. since they have been 2 days old they have eaten the internal parasite food, I crush it fine for all the fish, they like it better this way, for 3 days and then regular food for 4 days and so on (recently learned I was feeding it wrong, to see more on that see my post on the health board under, no wonder there not getting any better)

Have you ever noticed a baby with a LARGE belly, what could it mean?
 
hiya it could be ither a greedy lil fishy or deformed baby i guess loosing 1 is better than loosing them all mollies can be greedy i know. try feeding them liquifry for live baring fish thats what you feed babys thats what i feed them :)
 
Thanks, it does eat constantly maybe a greedy little thing.... ??
