my ranchu is very fat

[pulgarcito]

i notice yesterday morning that my female ranchu is more fat than usually  , what i tought was  dropsy  but scales are not out and she still acting normal  so i guess  she has eggs  m ny question is if there are not males  with her  ,  she will release  the eggs  by herself ?

Sometimes they will.  I had an oranda once that spewed eggs just from me taking her out of the plastic fish bag she came in and putting her in a temp. tub. 
You can try a water change.  Sometimes that help.  If not, then do you have a male that you can put in with her to see if they will spawn?  You def. don't want those eggs to get compacted in her.

My lionchu Rain has dropped eggs twice since I've had her. She's housed with another girl oranda.

thanks  for  yuor responses 

i think i 'll try the water change   ,  but  temp has to be a little bit  on new water  ?

on the other hand i have a wakin male  ,  and  i had a female oranda too and she release  the eggs  by herself  like 3 times   but in the last time  , she died

I would try the wc. The wakin might be too rough with her.  Try to temp match the water as close as you can.

Hi nickie  ,   i did the WC  this afernoon  and she  liked , cause started to be more active   i hope that helps

i know the wakins are more fast and rough  but this one  is very slow   i guess the ranchu female is more fast    this wakin has a small deoformation on the end of his body very close from his tail  , is like tuisted a little bit so i think thats why he is very slow

It is your call.  If you think the wakin will be okay with her, then it might help to add him in the tank for a while, just to stimulate her into releasing any eggs.
