kelso Fingerling Posts: 43 Kudos: 34 Votes: 0 Registered: 01-Sep-2004	Oh dear...i don't know if my fish is sick or pregnant. 1. The fish is super fat, (have had the fish for a month) its been fat for pretty much the whole time that i've had it, extremely fat lately 2. Red spot, about 3 mm long at the bottom of the fish starting at where it poops. 3. The scales are not sticking out. They're just kind of "separated". 4. Parameters are perfect. 5. 20 gallon, 3 leopard danios, 3 zebra danios, 5 male guppies, 7 cories and a shrimp So what is it? Dropsy? Pregnant? Very constipated? Let me know if you need more info Last edited by kelso at 24-Sep-2004 22:36

Do you have ammonia, nitrIte and nitrAte readings? It's good that the fish are doing better for now, however I doubt that the tank is okay. Now might be the time to try and address it. ^_^
