This is Dale (this is how Chip is supposed to look, except the dark stripe)

This is how Chip currently looks

They both live in a 178L tank with the fish i have listed below. they both eat the same food. the only thing out of the ordinary that i have noticed, other that Chips size, is that Dale has been chasing him/her aroud the tank every so often.

As for water parameters, my flatmate took a water sample for me to the pet store a few days ago and got it tested. the lady there said the water was fine. didn't get the Parameters written down though.

Ok, so any ideas as to what is wrong with my fish??

    well it seems that chip has gone back to normal size. no sign of eggs or fry, so may have been something else. guess i'll never know :-? :D

    I have seen them do this and then return to their normal size. I would assume it was a temporary blockage.
