We've had two Goldfish for about 5 years now who have been very healthy up until recently..

One of them has developed a huge belly that does not pine cone, is not discoloured and does not affect their swimming or apetite! My worry is that its been like this for several months now!! I want to start putting epsom salts, green peas, even swim bladder meds in and try getting a bigger tank for them but I'm worried that this will just stress them out as they've managed 5 yrs just the way they are. I'm worried that any changes will particularly affect the healthy goldfish!

Any advice or information on whats wrong will be greatly appreciated!
