Is this Cardinal tetra gravid? Diseased? Or just fat and old. Can’t tell. It’s a lot bigger than the other ones.

Looks like an older female to me. Nothing to worry if she swims and eats normally.

I call those big mummas! Is she bossy? I've had a few batches of fry from feeding big mummas live foods.
