Spotted African leaf fish disease? Pregnant?

[briemol12]

I woke up this morning and my favorite fish was laying on the gravel hiding on the plans. And I saw it had a big bump in his/her tummy. There no other fish that she could of breed so I am thinking he/she is sick
Anyone has an idea what it is? is just laying down. But it can still swim.
Any help would be appreciated.
She didn't had that bump yesterday.
Thanks
Bri

I would maybe start by offering a shelled pea- bloat is usually helped with this. He may or may not take it but worth a try. And it is something with minimal effort as a start

I'm not 100% sure if that is what it is but the pea can't hurt. Hopefully someone else will chime in

Awww hopefully! They're really cool fish. I've never had one but always thought about it but never had the right size tank or tank mates at the same time

My dwarf gourami was acting exactly like this and had a huge belly, a shelled pea made him better in 1 day. Completely back to himself.

Definitely a good try.


I love my fish!!!

So last night I got some peas and I gave it to my fish and today in the morning his tummy was back to normal. Thanks guys!

Glad to hear that! He was just a little backed up is all. I had this happen once and now feed peas every once in a while as a preventative measure. Not too often though.

So I came to a conclusion. Today while weekly water change I found a baby swimming around and I was like ... Who of you was pregnant. No one seem to me that my fish would be pregnant. It's the second time this has happen. So I think he over ate the rest of the babies. Feel kinda sad but at the same time I rescue one and probably the only survivor. Now I have 4 babies to raise. Excited.

If there was no male, how could this fish have had babies? What else is in the tank?
