Dwarf Lion fish Looking very fat
Hello, My dwarf lion fish is looking very fat and I cant tell why but I do have a few theories.
1st, and what I'm hoping is right. My lion is from what I can tell a female, is it possible that she is swelling due to holding eggs?
2nd, possibly a Blocked digestive system.
I first notice signs of her being a little extra round over a month ago, today she is obviously the biggest she has ever been. I am reluctant to think its due to her diet, which is frozen krill, shrimp and mussels. but i guess it could be, I also don't over feed, currently 2-3 times a week. I am also reluctant to think that its a block digestive system because of how long its been there, I would assume that even after a week or two any food in there would be starting to go bad and rot if it couldn't get through.
In terms of behavior, she appears as chirpy as ever. Does spent a lot of time hiding but often comes out to explore anything I do inside the tank. doesn't seem to be effected in any way, so maybe its nothing? lol (fingers crossed)
Also it would be almost impossible to get a picture sorry.
