well after months and months of waiting for this rosy barb to lay eggs, i think it may be something else, maybe dropsy? is there anything i can do for this fish if she does have dropsy? should i let her live out her life or is she in pain? should she come out of this tank? any treatment? i have a friend that wanted these rosy barbs but he's still cycling his tank. im going to try to get a picture, i really cant believe how huge she is getting, she looks like she could explode. both of them are actually biger than any rosybarb i have ever seen so im assuming theyre pretty old.

he skin looks like its stretching, me and the wife were joking that she's getting stretch marks from being pregnant, she eats plenty, sometimes she swims kinda funny, but not often, but as big as she is im sure she has to have some trouble, other than that she's very active, doesnt look sick, but i dont think she could be pregnant for this long.
