    hi guys

    Not sure if my Rasbora is sick or pregnant,

    Please see attached pics.

    She is really bloated like she is about to pop and is now hiding between the plants.

    Wish I could help. Did a google search and saw similar cases, but none this extreme. Most of the cases were either constipation or full of eggs.

    Looks like some sort of bloat to me.

    When it reaches this stage the outlook is not good unfortunately.

    Yeah... Looks like a very late stage of bloat. I would get it out of the tank before it dies and any other fish take a peck at it.
