Inkozana Posted March 5, 2012 Report Share Posted March 5, 2012 (edited) Hiya, I have a 50L tank with about 7 white cloud minnows. It's a coldwater tank with a ClearView Mini filter and aeration. I have noticed that five of the minnows have nice fat bellies and seem very happy but the other two are very skinny and have basically no tummy! I feed them about 3 times a day, alternating between bloodworm, spirulina flakes and hikari goldfish baby pellets (just have it leftover). Are the small ones at the bottom of the food chain, is the tummy size a way to sex minnows (like in neon tetra) or are they ill? In the pink square you can see one of the skinny minnows and in the green square there is a fat one. Edited March 5, 2012 by Inkozana Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
