I have a few glow- and cardinal tetras with distended bellies. They’ve been that way for a few weeks. Pregnant or something else? Thanks! IMG_3626.jpgIMG_3633.jpgIMG_3631.jpg
 
It is difficult for me to see the pic well enough to tell from what i can see in the one pic of the Glowlight it seems possibly full of eggs- if they seem normal and bright eyed, active and hungry, skin healthy looking, no hanging clearish to weird stringy white poops. Just watch. Also you might look for a you tube video to watch of Glowlight or similar tetra fish laying eggs. I believe they will lay eggs all over in different areas of plants.

Found an example of them

i had a Harlequin Rasbora I thought was going to split open she was so huge, and asked too if it was a normal thing, or what could be wrong with her (other fish was bit larger but nothing like that one fish).
