Hi Guys needs some help urgently. My female frontosa has become rounded at the tummy and is breathing alittle heavy. Is she ill or is she pregnant. She shows no other ill effect apart from a couple small scuff marks -proberly done by the male.

Any advice wiil be helpful.Thanks

What do you feed it? If you feed floating pellets chances are its bloat. I would definetly move it to a qt tank and start adding salt like mike said [tbs per 5gals]

What size tank is it in now, and what are the water params?
What do you do as far as maintence on the tank?

thanks guys for your responses. Its times like this I am so greatful for having acccess to MFK

Yes I do feed pellets . Not used using salt and anyway its the middle of the night here in London UK. I did a water test and its fine. Also just did a large water change and going to treat with sera omnipur which apprantly has a good history with bloat. Fingers crossed. Don't have an extra tank , my tank is 170 gallons.Rest of my frontosas are fine.
