Fish full of eggs not eating

[Supra]

Hello all I have a glowlight tetra that is obviously full of eggs and is not eating. My question is they say some fish are hard to breed, does this mean she won't drop them and continue not to eat?
Thanks in advance

Not all fat fish are full of eggs, there is something that is called dropsy that is what you could be dealing with.

if its full of eggs, wouldnt the males be swarming around her? defo watch her, look up other symptoms of dropsy/ bloat and watch out for them. how do the others behave? do u think u overfeed the fish?

1 has been staying with her, definitely not over feeding. I'll keep an eye and do some more research.

Update, swelling has subsided and she's hanging in the school and eating. Don't know what it was but glad things seem normal
