tinytawnykitten Posted May 4, 2008 Report Share Posted May 4, 2008 This one of my cichlids has what looks like a more rotund belly than the others. Seems ok in other ways as far as I can tell. Should I be worried or am I just being a paranoid mama? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanjury Posted May 4, 2008 Report Share Posted May 4, 2008 Probably just been fed alot Have you fed him recently? If the fish is still swimming around eating and happy don't worry... If the fish starts to gasp and not swim well and go off its food its bloat.. However I doubt you have given a peacock bloat they're generally pretty good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
