Bloated Zebra Otto

[Jsn76]

is my Zebra Otto full of parasites or eggs? It’s been getting bigger and bigger. Should I pull it into quarantine?

Well, a fat oto is a happy oto. Idk about this one though, it looks too fat. I have never had a problem like this with my otos before.

Yeah, the other 5 Ottos are not that fat. This one barrel rolled in the net and didn’t flop around. I have him/her in a quarantine tank with about 7 gallons of water, 1/4 teaspoon of epsom salt, and a few peas

He could be filling up with water because he could of got a tiny hole in him

Idk if that’s possible…. Wouldn’t a fish just die if they got a hole?

My Otto didn’t make it. So the curious side of me decided to slice the body open. There were a whole bunch of little whitish balls inside. They looked like eggs… but I’m not sure
