yarimochi Posted October 17, 2007 Report Share Posted October 17, 2007 My female guppy is currently HUGE. I mean HUGE. Her scales are slightly sticking out and I wonder if she has dropsy? What is everyones opinions? Is it normal for fins to stick out when guppies are pregnant? I thought so but as she has progressed they seem to stick out more. She is separated in a breeding net at the mo'. So whats the verdict: Pregnant or Dropsy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caryl Posted October 17, 2007 Report Share Posted October 17, 2007 Look down on her from above. If the scales stick out all over looking like a pinecone then it is dropsy - or perhaps she has a fry blocking the rest from exiting? If the scales just stick out on the belly area because she is so fat then it isn't dropsy. How long has she been like this? Any other signs of illness or anything?
