Ive had this blue wag for about a year and a half now. When I got her, she was normal size and initially after gaining weight I thought she was pregnant. Her gravid spot was (and still is) dark but has seemed to have gotten larger since I first noticed the 'pregnancy'. Today I noticed the lump coming out of her. She still poops perfectly fine and isnt pineconing whatsoever so Im not thinking its dropsy. My water perimeters are great and all at normal levels and no other fish in my tank show any signs of obesity so Ive ruled that out as well. She swims perfectly and males still chase her as if they're trying to mate, she hasnt shown any signs of behavioral changes. She's been in a tank with a small dose of aquarium salt before as she has ick at one point, however this was a while ago. I haven't noticed any signs of parasites either- does anyone have any idea on what may be happening with her and what I could do to help?
(image was taken through a scratched up plastic cup sorry about quality that was the best I could do as she's a very active fish)
