Hi im looking for advice
My female congo tetra looks bloated, I'm not sure if she's constipated or can they get egg bound? All other fish are fine.

That's sad. It looked like egg binding, but the early stages of an infection can do that.

She just got bigger and her scales were coming off, it was horrible. I hope I don't have to deal with it again
