Tumors, or just fat tummy's?

[Jen]

I have 6 Rosy Barb fry... approx 9 months old now. 4 of them are growing normally, getting their colours and whatnot. The other 2, however, I'm a bit concerned about. I can't tell if they are just growing too fast for their bodies. I have noticed this for a while... maybe a month or so. They still eat and swim normally.

Here are pictures of the two of them. the line drawn shows where their stomachs should end.... but as you can see, they protrude quite a bit. They are a bit blurry, but you can still see what I am talking about. The first pic has one of the normal fish, so you can see how sleek they are.

What do you think is wrong with them, and what can I do to help them?

Thanks

live bears can get pregnate at a really young age, and bettas can mate young as well, so why cant these fish?
