Strange and long subject. Mom (Silver) and Dad (Zebra) "seem"
happy and well. Once a month, they attempt to spawn under various PHs and temps.
Since treating "sugar crystal" parasites which I believe are ick,
I moved them to a smaller 10g tank. Mom missed breeding cycles
and her tummy is getting very large, the size of a small glass marble. She is 2 years old and previously I never saw her this large. Is this cause for concern, will she be ok until I can move her to a 30g tank with breeding room. Thanks, J
p.s. Is it a chance it can be "Dropsy" or what they call a bloated tummy disease?
