Zebra Danio Prob(pic!)

[StevenAu2]

Hi everyone.I have afew zebra danios in a community tank and one has a very large underbelly that is a light red in coloring!!! Is something wrong with it or is it eggs??? I have no idea so any help would be much appreciated.Sorry for poor pic quality but this was the best pic i could get.

It's hard to say for sure, but the lump looks like what I've read about fish TB. I think egg laden danios have them more evenly distributed along their belly, where that looks like a tumor or growth.

How is the fish behaving apart from th lump? Is it eating normally? Swimming pattern OK? Is it staying away from the others?

Irf.

Hi,the fish is behaving normally and the same as the other danios that are of normal shape.

Can you get a clearer pic? Its hard to say right now because the current pic is quite blurred, one thing is for sure though the danio is definately not egg laden.

Looks like a tumour - I suspect it is not long in the world but so long as it is not in distress just leave it to enjoy its life

I have a cory with what appears to be a tumour and I agree that if it doesn't seem ill or in pain or distress, it's best just to let it be.

So if its a tumor what causes it???
