So recently i noticed my little mystery wrasse has gotten a huge belly!! Is this okay?? I was thinking maybe eggs, or possibly a disease?

I have the mystery, Red Head Solon Fairy Wrasse, Multicolor Lubbock's Fairy Wrasse, McCosker's Flasher Wrasse, and Ornamented Wrasse, + some other fish.

here are some pictures what do you guys think??

Unless you have a pair of them I think you could rule out eggs. To me he just looks full. That's pretty much the way my melunarus and 6-line look everyday, after a good meal or grazing for live food.

ok yeah i didnt think it could have eggs but i dont know that much about them so i could always be wrong. Cool ill just keep feeding em and we should be good to go. my melunarus is a beast hes huge and Fat! ill have to try to snap a pic

thanks again!
 
Mine looks the same after a good feeding. Just nice and full, great pics by the way.
 
my wrasses look like that after they pig out.

FWIW, my 6 line looks more like a stripedy football than a fish.
 

HOW MUCH DOES A FISH’S FEEDING REQUIREMENTS AFFECT YOUR STOCKING DECISIONS?

  • A lot! - I avoid fish that require frequent or specialized feeding

  • Quite a bit, but an automatic feeder can change my answer

  • It depends on whether my nutrient export can handle it

  • It depends on how badly I want the fish

  • Not much. I’m willing to adjust my routine

  • Not at all. Feeding demands don’t limit my stocking choices

  • I usually learn about the demanding feeding schedule after buying the fish!

  • I haven’t really considered this before
