Ok the word pregnant may be wrong but I have a HUGE zebra Danio and a HUGE White cloud. They have been this big for around 2 weeks. Can these fish become eggbound where they find it difficult to lay the eggs or not? Also some advice on what to do now if people think they are ready to lay, another tank with males? I'm no expert so need some help pls!

Thanks, Mike.

They could be pregnant.
But they also could have dropsy, my nan has a tank of guppies and she thought her females were full of babies, turns out they all had dropsy and sadly most of them died.

I don't think they have dropsy, they are not cone like in shape and are feeding well. Also they have been really active all the time they have been big. They're not lethargic or anything so fingers crossed!!
