When I bought my 5 danios back in feb., I noticed (once at home) that one danio had a slighly fuller belly. I just thought it was pregnant or something (didn't really research it) because one day the belly was normal. Then a few weeks later, it would be the same. The danio's belly stayed "full" and perhaps may have slowly gotten larger, until about a week and a half ago when I noticed it was really really big. Since then I have observed it and on some days it is less swollen than others, but some days I think it just looks painfully big. The danio still bosses everyone around, acts as if nothing is wrong, although I can tell that it is harder for it to swim as fast as the others/with the same agility. I asked my LFS store and they said either I was over feeding (which I'm not or else the other danios would be bloated, and they are perfect) or perhaps it was a tumor of some kind. I do 15% water changes every weekend in the 10 gal tank, and some small cleaning during the week (maybe 10% or less). Any idea what this might be? I really dont want to put the danio down because it was the first one to ever recognize me, but if it gets to the point where I know it is suffering, I don't want it to be miserable. Thanks everyone. Wish I had a digi camera to post a pic of it... maybe one of my friends has one.
