fishdish Posted April 11, 2007 Report Share Posted April 11, 2007 I have a platty which has developed a big stomach and is staying on the bottom of the tank and is breathing heavily i would like to hear that it is pregnant but not sure what do you think cheers Joy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrienne Posted April 11, 2007 Report Share Posted April 11, 2007 Possibly pregnant, but unlikely even if you have males as not typical behaviour for a health fish. Check - can you see the scales sticking out at an angle, you may need to look down from above to see this. Is it eating? If it looks like a pinecone i.e. scales protruding it has dropsy, pretty much fatal and the best thing to do is euthanaise the fish. A pic would be good if you can post one.

fishdish Posted April 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2007 Thank you don't see any pinecone effect breathing quite heavily Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
