Pregnant fish?

[FishWhisperer]

Last night my tank had a new baby fish. The fish still looks pregnant. If she is stressed, is it possible she cannot birth the other fish? I originally thought one of my glowlight tetras (since they are small) gave birth and had only one baby. Now, when I look at the "rasabora" (?), she is really fat. Is it possible for a fish to only have one fish? Thanks.

PS The one fry is now in a two gallon bowl by himself.

Tetras and rasboras are egglayers, not livebearers.

Thanks for the update. Then that means, the fish are not rasaboras. Hmmm.... I really don't know if there were eggs or not. I don't see any eggs, of course, the other fish could have eaten them. The fish is really fat so it makes me think she is still pregnant (?) I will try to get a picture so you can tell me what kind of fish she is. Appreciate it.

Just because a fish is fat, doesn't necessarily mean it's pregnant. Are you sure it is a female fish, and not just a chubby male?

Again, let me upload pictures or video.

Unfortuntely, the pix is not letting me create a link. Sorry no fish pix. However, I am happy to report that Junior is still alive. He is eating and swimming all over his fish bowl. Not bad for the third day!
