I have an outdoor pond, about 9' x 12' x 18" deep, with quite a few goldfish (comets I think). There are a couple of water lilies and some submerged plants, a fountain, and a bio filter. One of the largest fish has developed huge bulges on its sides. It swims around, eats, etc. and its scales look OK as far as I can tell, so it doesn't seem sick but I have never seen a fish bulge like this! It looks 9 months pregnant. What should I do? I don't know much about fish but I would like to do whatever I can.
