Hi all,
I have a Blue Diamond discus that has a big belly. At first i thought it was constipated but then upon further examination the papilla(i think... the egg laying tube thing) looks the same as when my angelfish spawned. She/he is only about 3.5 in long so i don't know whether she/he is old enough to be full of eggs or not. What do you think? Should i be worried? will post pics when i can get one

discus don't get pregnant... they lay eggs.. so bellys don't get large

maybe constipated.. use epson salt 2 tablespoons/10 gallons.. 24 hrs.

or internal issues.
