The bloated look imo is a female ready to breed. Do you have any sexual mature males? My 3 females were ready much before my lone male was. They were ready to breed 3-4 months before the male was ready. Once you get them started they will breed like it is going out of style. I have had my best success in keeping the temps at 68F, and feeding a variety of live foods like blackworms, melano fruit flies, spring tails, and brine shrimp. I have about 120 juvies about 45 days old right now. I am in the process of cycling a 29 gallon to put 30-40 in and hopefully I can sell the rest....I love WCM. I need to try and work with a long fin variety.
