Wcmm X2 Pregnant

First, look down on them from above. Are their scales lying flat against their bodies or sticking out like a pine cone?

If they are flat, the females are just carrying eggs or they've grossly overeaten. If it is eggs, they should expel them before long, and if it is overeating the largeness should go down.

But if the scales are sticking out, that's dropsy, which is a symptom of several diseases.


Are the affected fish eating normally? Sick fish usually go off their food so being gluttons would indicate they are not sick.

All well in the tank. Fish are very happy and the minnows looking a little smaller but still on the larger side. Definitely carrying eggs so I'm not worried.
