Pregnant Oscar?

[jesstim@cox.net]

I have a 55 gallon tank. 1 oscar, 1 texas chiclad and a sucker. Over the last month or so we have noticed the oscars stomach has quickly grown to the size of a baseball. We took it to the pet store and they have never seen anything like it. Could someone guide along with any info or suggestion as to what it might be? Thanks

Well oscars don't get pregnant per say because they don't carry the young, they lay eggs.

The size of a baseball does not sound normal at all and i'd be worried. Maybe a case of bloat?
