Is this Wrasse pregnant?

[blue oasis]

I think my wrasse is pregnant. Can anyone tell me if it is? If, so does it lay eggs or give live birth? Should I put it in a QT by its self? If live birth, do I need to get these fish out of the tank so they don't get eaten or sucked up by the filter? Also, can someone ID this fish? I am not sure what kind of wrasse it is.

a court jester wrasse maybe.

going to give birth? don't know, but that would be pretty cool.

looked, it could also be dropsy. it causes swelling, but i don't have a phd, so you might check into taht. if it is, isolate him and treat with maracyn-plus for SALTWATER. good luck

Thanks! I looked up dropsy and I think that might be it. I am going to the fish store today to see if I can get medicine. Thanks for helping me catch it in time (I think).

just wondering if he was saved, or if i'm going to have to send flowers to the funeral?

This was seriously a waste of SWF.com's bandwidth. Even if it was laden with eggs I will put money on the fact that you didnt have a male. I would recommend observing your tank here and there so you know what your fish look like under various circumstances - if you cant tell when they are full how will you know when something is wrong?
