My Jack Dempsey Cichlid fry have developed very swolen bellies, what's that all about?
I have 10 Juveniles in a 60gal tank.
5 are about 4/5 months, getting their colours, developing perfectly.
The other 5 are about 2/3 months old and these ones have developed swollen bellies, they look bloated.
I am feeding them on crushed flakes, crushed up cichlid sticks and freeze-dried tubifex worms.
The fish are swimming and eating fine

they are bloated its not too harmful but try frozen peas and Epsom salt it usually happens when the food you feed them has a lot of air in them

It is most of the time usual for that to happen, but feed them some freeze-dried worms. That should help them out.
Edit:
I didn't see that you already were. Perhaps its the cichlid sticks?
