    It can happen when the fry eat heavily from the parents bodies.

    Liz, thanks for the reply . It has been a while for this female to have had fry on her . I have found this in two females and one of them have had no fry .

    You see it a lot, specially on Blue Diamonds, if they had fry or if they get older,

    I have a very old Blue Diamond. The body is all wrinkly. He eats and swims good just looks old and tired.

    You could always try anti-aging cream. LOL Just kidding, don't do it, it will kill your fish.

    Hi Roberto;

    I have several adults with wrinkled skin, which I think is just a sign of aging. Some of these have won show competitions before, so I have pictures of when they were at their peak. The wrinkling appears about two years past peak. Its much more noticeable on fish with light, solid colors - particularly my older albinos.
