Not sure if this is an emergency per se, but I'm not sure if this is normal.

Lately I have been noticing my Rosey Barb getting real pump in the mid section.
You can really see that his over all body shape has changed. His top is very flat now when it used to be quite curvy. (See the diff in pic 1+2
It isn't drospy, but It looks like his scales are drifting apart (see third picture). Today I noticed a little red squiggle under his 'skin'.

Does anyone have any ideas as to what is happening? I have had him going on 2 years now, and judgeing how big my babies are, he was at least a year old before I got him.

If you don't over feed the fish, give him some shelled peas, and I would medicate with an internal bacteria med.
