Leopard Danio

[macssafc]

OK ive got a leopard danio and in between its 2 front fins the whole of its body is swolen. now i dont know what it is that this could be.
my water tests are good so i doubt its anything to do with bad water. but im at a loss
any ideas ill post a picture soon

Could it be egg bound, can the fish maintain it's balance in the water, any scales sticking out, what does it look like when the fish goes to the toilet,tryed some shelled peas and daphnia to make sure it isn't constipation, what do you feed the fish.

i feed it aqaurium fish flakes

Look bad is it lumpy looks like a tumour abit, need more than flakes i'm afraid, need some frozen foods like bloodworms, daphnia,brimstrimp, try them all on some shelled peas, does it look like a lump on the belly.

 

[macssafc]

yeah its a big lump on the belly all the way round but not lumpy if you understand that?

just one big lump

Its either a tumor or a cyst, either if which isn't good news- you can try some internal bacteria med as these cysts are usualy bacterial in origin but i have no experience myself as to treating these so i can't give you any tips...

Sorry, if you wan't to try you could issolate the fish and try an anti internal bacteria med, so at least you tryed everything, good luck.
