Plz help with goldfish

Question

i have 4 goldfish and 3 r normal size and the other one is real fat is she fun of eggs or just fat

Answer 1

swimbladder will not bloat your goldfish dropsy is bloated body with scales going outward.  how big and how old are these goldfish?  dropsy is contageous you should check it well.  if you got a picture it will be easier.

Answer 2

Well if this is the black moor you bought a few days ago, it is natural of the breed to have an egg shaped body. But if the rest of your fish are commons then I suggest moving her to another tank because commons and fancies don't do well together. The fancies can't swim fast enough to get the food and are often chased by the commons especially when food is involved. That's a lot of stress for one little fish to handle.

EDIT:

If the scales are sticking out, it's dropsy and your fish is in danger of dying. Medication is needed immediately. Pictures would be helpful : \  But also if it's a calico it could be a ryukin or a fantail and again, eggshaped body.

Answer 3

A calico is more of a color and not a breed.

Any goldfish family member can be a calico.  If it is a Fancy chances are the fish is designed that way.  Smaller rounder fuller bodies.

That is not to say, your fish is not full of eggs.  Do you know if it is a female or not?

If she is swimming normal, eating with no outward signs of disease or weird behavior, chances are it is a fancy and the fish is designed that way.

Answer 4

Some goldfish are globe or egg shaped. This is just the way they are (like comparing a bulldog to a greyhound)

They are more prone to swim bladder however, so be sure to soak food before feeding.
