BettaSplendens Posted July 5, 2010 Report Share Posted July 5, 2010 My female halfmoon fighter is very fat, she is about 3.5 months old. I have the another tank beside hers with a male of the same age, so she can see him. Would this be dropsy, does she have eggs, or has she been over feed? Please help. Mike.

SamH Posted July 5, 2010 Report Share Posted July 5, 2010 Dropsy if the scales are sticking out like a pine cone. Otherwise fat and/or egg laden. HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HTH Here is a few photos, sorry about the stresslines on the fighter, had to capture it so I could get a photo and it did not like it! Thanks, Mike.

SamH Posted July 5, 2010 Report Share Posted July 5, 2010 (flippersandfins.net) If she doesn't look like that then it's not dropsy. Usually it's just eggs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
