Bloated Zebra Danio

[liamk1]

Hi Folks,

I have aproblem with a Zebra Danio that is so bloated, look as it's ready to explode. Don't know if it's pregnant or eggbound or if it's even a parasite?

here's a link to my video clip on youtube Bloated Zebra Danio - YouTube

Any advice very much appreciated

Thanks

Same thing happend to one of my Zebra Danios a few weeks ago. It looked like it was goint to burst. The fish eventually died.
My local fish store, which is very knowledgeable, said I didn't do anything wrong. They said it could have been a tumor.

Did it look like this? I've had a danio stick like this for weeks. He is acting normal, even still eating. I tried fasting him twice now. His scales are NOT sticking out, so it's not dropsy. Not sure what to do. Going to try peas with garlic oil tonight to see if he just is stuck up. But I've never seen a danio this big. Is he egg bound? Or full of parasites? Poor thing. Maybe we can solve our problems together.
