It looks healthy to me. Generally if they are puffy, means it's doing well. U can feel e bloated up flesh when u touch it.

and yes you can slant it that manner.

How is it that you still have traces of ammonia and nitrite in your tank? How long have your tank been running?

[osyie]

Running for about 1mth plus. I believe it the trace of ammonia is due to overstock of fish or overfeeding

If u still have traces of ammonia n nitrites means your cycle is not completed, or it's not done properly. It shouldn't be traceable. U may need to monitor the nitrogen cycle more before adding new livestock. Any amount of detectable nitrites can be deadly to livestocks..

[osyie]

Probably due to water condition. Therefore I change water bi weekly and I believe is doing well now
