Pregnant White Cloud Minnow!

[Ashro1980]

Can anyone please tell me whether or not my Minnow (Image below) is pregnant or what!? if yes, then she has been pregnant for over 3 months now! I have kept a male minnow with her most of the time but removed him recently coz he was stressing her all the time. Water temp is about 25-26 degrees. there are lots of places for her to hide and spawn,,, she eats like a pig and looks very healthy.

any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks

Rooster is right, that isn't normal.
She could be full of eggs and be overweight but I would say the fish has internal problems of some. If the fish is still eating well and swimming around normally then just leave it be. White clouds are schooling fish and should be kept in groups. They also need to be kept in cool water otherwise the females can become egg bound. This could be the problem with your fish. Once a fish is egg bound they can't breed but can continue developing eggs and this can lead to a weird shaped fish. To prevent egg binding in White clouds keep them in cool water and only warm the water up when you want to breed them.
