I have a powder blue gourami that looks like it has a small bulge right behind the front fins on the bottom of the fish.Its scales are not sticking out.Wondering if the fish is pregnant or sick.

Gouramis do not get 'pregnant' they lay eggs, but i doubt its eggs. It could be dropsy, sometimes the scales don't start to stick out until later. Or it could just be overfed.

A picture would help alot :)
