Oh my word it's a whale! LOL I'm with Shawnie, I sure hope it's pregnant. I don't have personal experience with them either. Have you seen the fish poo? Is it regular?

That looks a bit too large to be eggs, but maybe it's just a bad angle

YouTube user IsaLeil posted a video of rasboras spawning, where you can see an egg-bearing female, and she does not look as bloated as the picture you posted:

its not working for me ...is it on my end?
EDIT: you have to go to youtube to watch it...and I agree..your fish is severely bloated.....I would try for a week, fresh frozen pea pieces the size of one of their eyes...do this 2 times a day for 2 weeks...nothing else to eat other than that....if you have other fish in the tank, I would put this one in a breeder box to target feed...thanks for the vid mathas!!!!

It works for me only if I click where it says "watch on youtube".

I should have mentioned that, I suppose The YouTube page for the video does say that embedding is disabled, but I couldn't find a way to turn off the auto-embedding feature of this forum and didn't have enough time to play around with it. The curse of checking FL while at work!
