Swolen fish #1
Hi everyone,
When I moved into my new house the previous owner left several fish in the pond. I have managed to get to grips with cleaning, treating etc, and the fish look very happy and the water is A1 I test it every week or two. One of the bigger goldfish (might be shabunkin ?) Has become very bloated, I have treated for dropsy. It swims feeds and it looks OK apart from being like a beach ball. I think it's female the other fish were nudging her around the pond in the spring. I have added a picture (hopefully) can anyone help please
Thanks
Colin

Re: Swolen fish #2
Are her scales standing up (like a pinecone)? If not, she may just be fat or full of eggs.
