Over the past few weeks I've noticed one of my xray tetras is quite large compared to all the others. It seems to be swimming around as normal, eating normally with the others and generally no signs of any problems. Apart from being larger, it doesn't look ill - or is it?

If I look at the fish from above the tank, it's definitely wider than the rest.

Anyone have any ideas? Photo taken earlier today ... not brilliant, a bit fuzzy!
 
Maybe it's just fatter or older!! Possibly pregnant?! Can't see any pic I'm afraid.

Sorry, here's the photo.

Thanks for replying anyway.
