female Apisto cac, looking strange

[bycatch]

Now, I hesitate to write as there may be a perfectly natural axplanation....

I picked up a couple of fem. Ac last week along with a male.

one female looks like she has a fat gut. I'm thinking 'full of eggs'?

or... something a lot worse.... 'disease, worms, something exotic and hard to cure...'?

I wil try to get a photo up.

In the mean time, does anyone have any ideas?

Fish from lfs in SA.

Thanks

She may be a guts....hope so!

If scales are standing out from the body it's probably dropsy.....very very difficult to heal....if not impossible by the time it gets to that stage

Best of Luck :wink:
