rounded tummy

Post by emi-chan » Mon Nov 02, 2009 7:27 pm

i've noticed recently that one of my goldfish is starting to develop a slightly rounder tummy, not that much rounder but just enough for me to notice.
its about 2 1/2 years old.
is there something wrong with her or is she just growing? maybe she's just getting fat??

Some fish are just a bit better than the others at grabbing the food.

Feed fresh or lightly cooked vegies to be sure they are getting a varied and balanced diet that includes fiber.
38 tanks, 2 ponds over 4000 liters of water to keep clean and fresh.

Happy fish keeping!
