one of my rasbora hets stomach is looking strange.
I'm pretty sure it's not dropsy, but it could be. i discussed it with myself
and said it had dropsy, is pregnant, or it was a morbily obese fish.
it stomach looks fat and looks different from my other hets. it
is acting regular.
it also looks like it has something inside of it.
please help !
i'm a beginner and need help for my fish! if it has babies I'm not sure what to do with 'em!

Gotto Hurry, I Can Post Pics In The Next Hour Or Two.
I Have 2 More Rasboras And 1 Cory Cat.
It Is A 10g I Feed Them Every Day 'cause Thbats What The Man At The Store Said.
Okay, while waiting for the picture, let's establish that the fish you have are schooling fish and really should be kept with at least 5 members of their own kind. Don't add that many fish to the tank at once though because it will throw off your cycle.

just look at these links. they are kinda blurry pics, but it is hard to tale pictures of fish!
and yes i only have 3 rasboras. ive only had them for 3 days. i will get more in 2 weeks.
Looks like bloat. Try feeding a mashed up cooked pea.

so instead of fish food i cook 1 pea and give it to 'em?
what should i do with the rest of the fish?
should i put them in different tanks?

well
i have a 10g tank, its 75 degrees, there are 4 fish in it.
is that what you need?
the fish are about 3 or 4 inches off the bottom and mostly staying still or moving. my cory is doing like normal i think.
Need to know readings for ammonia, nitrIte, and nitrAte. If you don't have a test kit, you must go get one.
Liquid kits are far more accurate than paper strips.
