Female jewel cichlid

[Lorrie D]

Does anyone know what's going on with my female jewel, shes been bloated looking like shes gonna explode. I thought she was pregnant ...but this has to be something else

Bloating is usually a symptom of a bacterial infection. In your Jewels case it might be something else, possibly an intestinal tumor. Either way the prognosis is not good.
IMO, probably best to pull that one out of the tank.
