Hi friends - I have a freshwater tank thatā€™s been pretty stable for a while. We have four glofish and four tetras. A few weeks ago the blue glofish got a swollen belly (see pics). She was still peppy and energetic so I though maybe she had eggs? But itā€™s been this way for a few weeks at least now. Seems to be mostly on one side. Iā€™m a mom of two and honestly donā€™t know much about fish. I change the water 1-2 times a month and test it and it looks okay, and the other fish are fine. Is she sick? Iā€™ve read about dropsy and a couple other possibilities and donā€™t want to medicate the tank unless I really need to. Thanks for any advice you may have!
