Bloated Danios

[Aquarium1]

So in my 10g (yeah I already know its too small) I have 2 danios, both of which are quite bloated around their vents. I fed them a couple peas today, but so far there hasn't seemed to be much of a difference. What do you think could be wrong? I'll try to add pics in a few.

Here are some pics

Right now, it seems that the danios are the only ones affected.

Holy toledo Batman! Can you salt the tank? Remeber, no food.

Hahaha k. I stopped feeding the other day and I gave a half dose of salt yesterday and another half today. If I have time tomorrow I'll try to do a pwc and replace salt.

I hope it works for you!
I am glad you pointed out the bloating in the pics, because I couldn't see it.

I thought that might be an issue

The pearl danio lost the bloating but then died a week or so after. I don't know what to do with the zebra, he's like 1.5x as bloated . This is just so stressful .

He/she was swimming upside down today, so it might have been a swim bladder problem. Anyway, I decided to euthanize him/her with clove oil. RIP Zebra

Well, danios lay eggs, and he/she has passed now .

it seems that danios are prone to bloating. I keep mine "deflated" by alternating flakes with rough foods (peas, brine shrimp, etc.)
