Alright, so I know its not a monster fish, but I dont know where else to turn...
So I've got this cardinal tetra, and I dont know whats wrong/if anything is wrong. It's stomach is huge, it looks just really fat basically, but not like round fat more like proportioned fat (couldnt get a good pic w/ the cell phone)... I just did a ton of reading trying to figure out what it might be... Now I know it sounds like dropsy, but it has been like this for upwards of 2 weeks and its color is fine, appetite is good, movement/behavior is normal, no pineconing going on.... which would make me maybe say constipation? but again with the healthy appetite and the normal behavior so I dont think thats it.... I understand that cardinal are egg layers, so I doubt its a breeding thing.... I just dont know what to think.... any ideas?
Thanks
