One of my Severums is looking a bit strange, to say the least. This first happened about a month or two ago. The sides of the fish swelled up quite large, on both sides. At first it made me think it was pregnant, but I never saw any eggs, and the swollen sides disappeared. Now, the swollen sides are back, and larger than ever. Its still swollen on both sides, but not symmetrically. In looking around, I first thought it may be dropsy, but the scales are laying down flat over the swollen areas. Other than the swollen sides, the fish doesn't display any other symptoms at all. Any ideas or suggestions?
(Water parameters: Not sure, will test tomorrow. Tank has been stable for a good long time now. Water changes about every 2 weeks or so. Fish in tank: two severums, two electric yellows, tiger barb, pleco, rainbow, two green cories, 66 gallon total)
Pics aren't clear, but it should give you an idea....
