Hi I have a Rosey Barb and it looks like it's about to explode. It swims around normal and doesn't act as if anything if wrong with it. It's always been a bit bigger than the others but it has gotten abnormally big looking lately. At first I thought maybe eggs, but it's been several weeks since it's been big like this and no sign of any eggs. I have attached several pics so you can see. Any ideas what it could be?

Are his scales sticking out.
What do you feed your fish.
What does it look like when he goes to the toilet.
Does his tummy look lumpy or is it just the pics.
 
Scales aren't sticking out, I feed them Tetra tropical granules, the poo is sometimes long and pink looking, stomache does look lumpy. Any ideas what it could be?
 
Can you issolate the sick fish.
The lumps do they look hard of soft like filled with fluid.
Need a more balanced diet of frozen foods and veg.
 
Cannot isolate the fish. The lumps kind of look hard. Will feed some peas
 
If the lumps look hard they could be tumours.
If the fish dies don't want other fish pecking at it. Can you issolate her in a container at the top of the tank.
All you can do really is try a bacterial med.
