Bloated belly

[lauren]

my Golden axie had a really bloated belly.

I was feeding both my black and golden (sooty and peachy) axies crickets twice a day for about a week...i usually feed them a mixed diet of crickets, mealworms, bloodworms and pellets.

they both eat 2 times a day and only my (peaches) had a bloated stomach.

a couple of days ago i noticed some flaky skin on sooty so i got some "Fungon-x" and treated them and the flaky skin seems to be gone.

again only peachy had a bloated stomach and only sooty had flaky skin...

Whats going on???

Can you post a pic? Is it bloated downwards or outwards?

Feeding twice a day may be more than they need, unless they are juveniles. I would at least cut back on feeding until you figure out if it is sick or not. Also, I would not feed mealworms for the time being. I assume that the bloated one is still eating?

Flaky skin can be an indication of problems with the water quality. Have you tested for ammonia, etc.? How long has the tank been set up? Does it have gravel?

they have both gone back to normal now...thanks anyways
