Here is a picture of one of my cardinal tetras. He/She has a bloated looking belly. Is it a female with eggs or is something wrong?

After observing a little longer I noticed this one being much more aggressive to the other tetras than usual, but all other behavior is normal.
What do you guys think?

I have no experience with cardinals... so.. but there are only 3 possibilities:

1) eggs
2) constipated
3) parasites


I would feed her some freeze dried daphnia or frozen thawed peas in bits and see if he/she gets better... then, go from there.

The day after I posted this they he was back to normal. I think he just had too much to eat-maybe constipated. Hope yours is okay too!
