Question i have a goldfish which is getting very fat. it looks like what a normal looking person looks like is one of those sumo wrestling suits
Answer Your goldfish might be a female that is holding eggs, however it may also be a disease called dropsy which can make a fish blow up really fat and large and sometimes make the scales push out like a pinecone.
If your fish has dropsy, it is very hard to treat. I would go to koivet.com for more information on dropsy.
