Well feeding the crew I noticed that my Tanzanian Acai wouldn't eat. After inspection I noticed her mouth looked full. Is she holding?

The female cares for her eggs by holding them in her mouth (mouthbrooding) she will keep them there until they are fully developed fry and able to swim freely.Then she will release them.Basically she's giving them a good start in life.
