| Tetra's are egg scatteres not live bearers so it's probably not pregnant and if there are no eggs you won't have any fry. |

What, how much, and how often are you feeding it?
Do the scales look like they're sticking out like a pinecone?
What are your readings for ammonia, nitrIte, and nitrAte?
How big is the tank and what fish are in it?

| Hi Jacz, That is normal. Every Blackskirt I've had has always gotten more than their fair share at feeding time and bulged at the belly. |
