Zebra Danio Is Massively Fat!

[geordieelvis]

I think she is full of eggs but she is getting bigger not smaller! Swimming around and eating totally normally but I am worried about how big she actually is now, anybody got any advice??

If she is fat from eggs from eggs that's normal. Mine get fat all the time.
Any other sympthoms? Apart from being fat does she look like a pine cone with the scales looking like they are popping out of the fish?
If it does then thats dropsy.
But people here won't be able to help you much without a picture of the fish.

No, she has perfectly healthy scales and seems totally normal apart from she is huge and has been for a couple of weeks now. Will try to get a couple of pics up but I am using an iPad and it says pics are too big.

You need to use a photo-editor software to reduce the file to under 300K - often, just reducing the image quality of a jpeg is enough to reduce the file size enough, without actually resizing the photo itself. I don't know if GIMP works on the iPad, but I use it on my PC, it's a cracking bit of software and it's free.

Ok, photo isn't great because like I said she is still swimming pretty actively around the tank!!

You're right, but that does look like a gravid fish.
