i have one male and two females, and one female has become extremely bloated!!! at first i thought it was jsut over feeding but i cut back and she's still getting bigger.. anyone else ever had this problem??? all she does is sit on the bottom?

its not babies inside?

 

[Knuc dog]

no its not babies this was also m original assumption but then it started to show more in the anterior portion of her chest and to the sides. plus there is no gravid spot

How about dropsy?

umm i don't think so........ as there are no raised scales. really don't know what it could be, other than parasites. i have raised the temp up to 84. i will post the water parameters tomorrow as thats when i get a test kit

hey all thakns for the help..... and it turns out that the fish did have dropsy so it was euthenized....... i know that most of you wouldn't agree with what i did however since dropsy has been rumored to be difficult to cure, i thought this was fir the best seeing the late diagnosis..... thanks again, and one more question how at risk are my other fish?
