Bloated zebra danio fish?

Question

I have 3 zebra danios, one of them has always been kinda skinny and racey (and semi-long finned too) and the other two have always been more round.  But lately one of them is VERY round.  So round that she looks like she's swallowed a balloon and is going to pop.  I've had several tanks over the past years and most of them have included danios but I have never seen anything like this before.  Any ideas?  Could it be a problem with the swim bladder?  Eggs that haven't been released?  Something else?

Is the fish acting alright other than its rotund shape? Do his scales seem to be protruding? It sounds like it has Dropsy to me, which is caused by a bacterial infection. You can get some rather inexpensive medicine at your local pet store, and separate and treat the fish per the instructions. Sometimes, by the time us humans notice the symptoms, the fish are too far gone to save. And since Danios are rather inexpensive, themselves, it may not be cost effective to try to treat your fish. He may have had this illness before you ever bought him. Good luck! Hope this helped.

communicate me with the aid of the kind you regulate the water. Pay particular interest to right here questions: How lots water do you regulate each and every time? Do you upload dechloronator? Do you do something to hold the water as much as tank temp? Why have not to procure a heater for a tropical tank?! i know yours broke, yet you elect a heater!! you're risking the the remainder of the fish - no longer purely the danios! Danios may be superb in cooler water, however the shark definately won't! How huge is the tank? The danios are shoalers - they prefer extra shoalmates. If one's purely died, you will prefer 3 left? you prefer a minimum of double that quantity.
