My ryukins seem a little bloated. I switched from the nasty flake food i'd been feeding them to some higher quality hikari gold pelets. Now they seem kinda bloated should i be concerned? I've been feeding them peas and some hikari algea wafers for the past few days cause i didnt wanna feed them flake food but now they seem bloated after the hikari gold food i fed them today. I've also been fighting high nitrates for the past month because 1. My well water has 40ppms of nitrate in it and 2. I need a larger tank. Could this have something to do with the bloating? I've been doing water changes every two or three days ten gal's at a time with water from my friends house. Its only a 37gal tank.
