Danio looks bloated!!

[Wedge]

Hey peeps

I have one Danio left from 6, the others have just died for no apparant reason over the last 6 months (all other fish are fine) although one did have a large sist a couple of months ago, so i removed it from the tank.

The one i have left has become very large over the last week or so, almost pregnant looking. im just a bit worried.

Does it have sticky out scales....like a pine cone?

What does it look like when this fish goes to the bathroom? (translation - could it be internal parasites?)

If the fish is still eating, go ahead and feed him some peas.

she is dine.
I've had a female look similar to that for ages.
It is genetic; I belive this is partly due to the
amount of inbreeding in the species.
providing she is eating well there is nothing to worry about.

A couple of my danios look like that too.

It is normal for adult female danios to be completely full of eggs and fat looking. ESPECIALLY the short-finned variety.

I've got 1 Golden Zebra Danio left. I think it's female, and apparently the females just look pregnant all the time. I've had a danio so big it looked like it was about to explode!!! ... or implode... whichever comes first.

Maybe your other ones were all males? Maybe she really is pregnant?
I dunno, just sayin' my two bits.
