When the kidneys of a fish shut down (due to infection) the fishes body will fill with fluid this results in the body of the fish swelling.the problem with treatment is it is very difficult to diagnose early on in the infection and by the time you realize what is going on it is often too late.
have a water sample thoroughly tested as this is often the result of poor water conditions (or environmental factors such as low temps).as this has happened to you before this may be the case

With them all being male and some of them dying i would say it is bloat. I would go to your local pet store and pick up what is called Life Guard. It treats all different sicknesses in fish. Also I would suggest doing a 25% water change before the treatment.

P.S. They guppies did not kill them, they have been given sick only then yet befor while they lived jointly they have been superb. a million. The danios probly are sick. considered one of mine are sick to. Now in case you have a typical bowl get rid of it and get a 10 gallon tank with a fillter, ask a perfeshalun for witch bio bag u choose. 2. the ailment can get to your guppies so discover some medacation to your fish only incase. 3. in case you're uncertain your fish are sick verify for: Hemorrhagic Septcemia, physique Slime & Eye Cloudy, sounds like cotton is starting to be from the mouth and Furunculosis (AEROMONAS.) so be on the look out for thoose issues. 4.

Swollen body part is called an edema. Its a symptom telling of an underlying disease or cancer. Once thier bellies swell up like that, there's not much you can do.

He probably is just eating too much or something. Do what you did last time when your fish got fat!
