Hi Guys.
 
Been out for the evening and when i got in noticed a couple of my guppies have developed lumps on one side of their stomachs.......
 
Any ideas what it could be?

Does the lump look to be a different colour? I have seen pregnant female guppies have something rupture inside them, it is always fatal.
 
I know its hard but can you get any clearer photos? The  clearer the photo the easier it is to identify the problem.
 
Its not a different colour or anything. Its literally just a round lump off centre.
 
Oh lumps aren't a good sign. Are there both guppy females and males in the same tank? I doubt they all got pregnant at the same time, but... Are the guppies hanging out at the surface of the tank? It might be a disease called bloat, which has treatments but unless you catch it early the guppy has a high likely hood of dying. 
 
Well i think we was just being over paranoid, as lumps have gone went down after a nice big poo so thinking it was now just constipation :L. But yes the tank is mixed with males and female and around all are preggers barr 2 :)
