Has anyone ever seen this before

Needing some help figuring out what's going on with my female hybrid. I'm in the middle of transporting my fish room to my new house so I havnt been around my rays as much. Came to feed them today and after they were finished my hybrid was swimming the glass as usual, I noticed her down stairs is extremely swollen, it's like a bubble. There are no mature males in with her, has anyone seen this or expierence this before?

Sort of looks like blockage or prolapse to me. That sucks man you should watch more closely and see how she poops, how is she acting otherwise?

Totally normal super active gobbled up a bunch of talapia before I noticed it

The only time I've seen anything similar was after breeding. Hopefully she'll be ok. Did she eat normal?

Looks like the start of a prolapse to me. This can happen in young rays if they are greedy and gorge themselves at meal times, feed about half the usual amount of food for a week or so and see if it disappears.
