Dial A Vet · Accepted Answer

A bloated appearance and erratic swimming in fish can be serious indicators of underlying health issues. This could be 'dropsy' (a symptom, not a disease, often caused by kidney failure or bacterial infection), constipation, or even an internal parasite. Observe for scales sticking out or any changes in their feeding habits. It's critical to isolate the affected fish to prevent potential spread to others. Improving water quality and a quick diagnosis from an aquatic veterinarian can be vital. Speak to Dial A Vet via a video consult should you need further guidance.
