So I'm just finishing up treating my tank for ich, that got brought in with some new fish and fortunately there hasn't been any sign of it on the fish for a week, so that's going well. But now my irridescent shark catfish (one of the small ones, she's only about 4 inches and I've had her for 3 1/2 years) has this weird belly bulge. She can't be pregnant, since I don't think they're live bearers and she's my only shark. My only other fish are tetras and rasboras. Now the bulge is right where her stomach should be I think and could it be possible that she just ate too much? I don't put tons of food in the tank or anything, but two of my rasboras have been a little frisky lately and the temp. of the tank is up from treating the ich and I've heard that rasboras breed at higher temperatures. Do you think the rasboras laid eggs sometime at night and my catfish just gobbled them all up? She's behaving normally and swimming and everything so she's not showing any indication that there's something wrong, and I only noticed it this morning.
Any help would be appreciated. Thank You. sweatdrop

Just keep an eye on it for a day or two. If it doesn't go away on it's own, then you should worry.
