Hi! I just got a RES about 1 month ago and Im still learning more and more about it so I kinda get worried over every little thing.. she recently started bloating or puffing out her neck whenever she pokes her head out of the water. Is that normal? I'm just a little concerned because I never noticed her do that before.

Is it temporary and goes away? I sometimes notice the lower portion can look larger, but would not confuse it with swelling.
