Dears,
I don’t know why this guppy has a belly like this , please see image. Is it a disease or pregnancy? If pregnancy then why they don’t come out? The fish eats and swims well. But I am scared if it would explode as the belly gets bigger every month.

Can you please share your experience and tell if you know what is it

Could try dropping or raising temperature 1 or 2 degrees Celsius, it triggered mine to give birth once when it was as big as this

I did try that and did not help. It seems to me that the inside is just air as her skin is transparent and I cannot see anything inside. Here is another closer shot photo IMG_2710.jpeg
