This is one of my white mountain cloud minnows. I got it along with 4 others about 2 months ago. Its been this chunky ever since I bought them, swims fine and seems to have no issues other than its big belly. Is it carrying unfertilised eggs or something?

Here’s the link to a video I took of it

I’ve seen a few tiny tiny fry in the tank but think theyre from my danios as I always see the danios actively ‘doin the dance’ and grew one of these fry up which turned out to be a danio. I never see the minnows doing any kind of mating type activity, bur maybe I dont know what to look for.

Basically, is this minnow okay? Or should I be concerned? Any advice is appreciated. Hopefully the picture next to another minnow gives you some scale :)

Looks like it has eggs in it. It may or may not lay them. If it does end up laying them, they probably won’t be fertilized.
