Hi! I’m not new to the hobby, but I am new to Molly fish. I got 3 from my local fish store and two of them have gotten pretty fat. One in particular is very very fat and has grow a lot in just 6 weeks. I’m not sure if it’s normal for them to be this fat? Or if I’m over feeding them? It’s hard to not over feel them because they eat everything I put in the tank. They will nibble on the bug bite sticks I throw in for the assassin snails, the algae wafers I put in for my bristle nose, and eat the community food I throw in there for the other fish in the tank. Or could it be pregnant? Or is it just normal for them to be very fat? I have only had them 6 weeks and 4 weeks they were in a quarantine tank, they’ve only been in the community tank for 2 weeks and they were not very big when I got them so I assume they were fairly young. They are acting normal, very active still eating like crazy although one of them does seem to be much more shy than the other two. The shy one is also much smaller then the other two. Anyway, I just wanted to know if anyone can tell me if it’s normal for them to be this fat or if there is something wrong with the fish? Thanks so much for any help. I’ve listed water perimeters and attached picture.
ammonia- 0
nitrite- 0
nitrate- 30
PH- 8 (I know this is high, I live in utah by the mountains and it’s just always high, my KH is high too so there is no changing my PH, it’s stable and never goes up or down)
