If shes not pregnant then you should turn the temp up a bit. helps if you have another tank for this as it could affect the other fish
I did this with my cherry barb who was pine coning and bloated, and within 2 days she was fine |

My platys got huge with carrying fry.
I don't know if its the fry or something wrong. I would of expected to see her going to the toilet as that all I ever noticed with livebearers. |

Mine got that big with fry, but it takes it toll on them.

I found her dead when i came in this morning
Her belly seemed very soft as if filled with air. Probably organ failure as Wilder said Ah well. |
