First off paige can you post test results in ammonia,nitrite,nitrate,and ph, what size tank and how many fish,is she laying on her side at the bottom, also is there any signs of illness, like being paler then normal or darker, any spots,fungus, has she been flicking and rubbing against objects, what does it look like when she goes to the toilet, is the fish heavy breathing etc.

she seems to be swimming around alright now iv fed them i think shes just a bit of a pig thanx anyway keep u informed on her!!!

Is she fat because she is pregnant, try her on some shelled peas, sorry i missed that about her being fat.

 

[paige]

I dont think shes old enough and non of the boys chase after her they chase after the older girls

Fat bellys can mean a few thing, what do you feed the fish, can she maintain her balance in ther water, scales are not sticking out like a pinecone, also what colour is her poo,do you over feed, and I would recommend you give her some shelled peas, and also if you have no scaless fish add some salt to the tank for a few days.
