Aeromonas bacteria have invaded the internal organs of the goldfish causing the belly to turn red. The fish needs to see a piscine vet A.S.A.P. or it will die. The vet will administer anitibacterial injections that may save the fish. Also if you have any other fish living with the affected fish you will need to have them treated too.

How do you know if your goldfish has started to get dropsy?

What is the difference between dropsy and a goldfish being pregnant?

The difference between dropsy and a goldfish being pregnant is that dropsy is a fatal condition caused by poor living conditions or an internal bacterial infection. This usually results in the body filling with fluid thus causing the fish to appear bloated. When goldfish get ready to spawn a female may appear slightly bloated or thick-bodied in accompaniment of the eggs in her abdomen. Goldfish use external fertilization to reproduce so therefore a pregnant goldfish is impossible. In general, if the fish is acting rather sluggish and is staying at the bottom, or if they start looking like a pine cone, (raised scales) it is probably dropsy.
