Pregnant six line wrasse?

[Rjondo13]

Ok so I bought my six line wrasse about 2 weeks ago. I’m wondering if anybody else is seeing what I am seeing and thinks she could be pregnant?

I would be wary of a possible parasite as well.

 

[sixline]

Probably not. They're always fat and eating.

Also looks like potentially full after reading this thread.

Wrasse with huge belly

Your wrasse looks like my Puffer after it eats. That sucker sucks down more food than I thought possible. Yesterday it devoured 20 krill 1 mussel 2 shrimp and 1 scallop that was part of a Rod's Food Predator blend feeding. Even my wife calls it a fat pig of a puffer.

I had this problem with my six line. Constapation. I fed mine some crushed up peas with its regular food. Seemed to go away after that.

Looks well fed

did it survive?

Bumping this as well, as mine has the same. I'm feeding pellets & Mysis. I'll try feeding a boiled pea.

They pretty much always look like that. Especially after they eat.

I guess he must be scavenging and eating all day long then.
