Heyas,
I noticed that my featherfin catfishes (4) all seem bloated. Some pics below.
I've read that some types of catfish are normally bloated and have no disorder or disease.
Does anyone know if featherfin catfishes are also normally bloated so that I do not have to worry about anything?
Thanks lots
Bloated Featherfin?

Hi Silurus,
Feeding regiment is 2x a day, the usual amount which can be finished in 2 minutes by the fishes.
Hmm, I just noticed that their bellies are smaller now. I think featherfins' bellies just get big right after feeding (doh, i never considered this before since it never occured to me that fish's bellies can get really big after feeding). I will observe again later ...
I have a 30g tank. UGF and Fluval Cannister (150 gph).
4 Featherfin Catfish
5 Angelfish
8 Sepae Tetra
1 red swordfish
6 albino cory
6 bronze cory
1 Clown Loach
3 Glass Fish
Plants, DIY CO2 with bell diffuser.
