[bex1]

Sounds like she could be aborting the pregnancy

She's stressed. What are the water stats?

This is a genetic disorder as far as to my knowledge. There is nothng wrong with the fish, but if you cannot bear looking at it in this form you can cut that part and put aquaflavin ( Get a proffessional to do that if you havent attempted it before)

the water stats are fine just tested them.
dont think ill bother cutting it off it seems to have nearly dissapeared again now, very strange!
any more ideas welcome

Also keep an eye out for internal parasites.
